This book describes the use of models in process engineering.
Process engineering is all about manufacturing--of just about
anything! To manage processing and manufacturing systematically,
the engineer has to bring together many different techniques and
analyses of the interaction between various aspects of the process.
For example, process engineers would apply models to perform
feasibility analyses of novel process designs, assess environmental
impact, and detect potential hazards or accidents.
To manage complex systems and enable process design, the behavior
of systems is reduced to simple mathematical forms. This book
provides a systematic approach to the mathematical development of
process models and explains how to analyze those models.
Additionally, there is a comprehensive bibliography for further
reading, a question and answer section, and an accompanying Web
site developed by the authors with additional data and exercises.
* Introduces a structured modeling methodology emphasizing the
importance of the modeling goal and including key steps such as
model verification, calibration, and validation.
* Focuses on novel and advanced modeling techniques such as
discrete, hybrid, hierarchical, and empirical modeling
* Illustrates the notions, tools, and techniques of process
modeling with examples and advances applications
Established in 1960, Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry is the
definitive serial in the area-one of great importance to organic
chemists, polymer chemists, and many biological scientists. Written
by established authorities in the field, the comprehensive reviews
combine descriptive chemistry and mechanistic insight and yield an
understanding of how the chemistry drives the properties.
Metabolic engineering is a new field with applications in the
production of chemicals, fuels, materials, pharmaceuticals, and
medicine at the genetic level. The field's novelty is in the
synthesis of molecular biology techniques and the tools of
mathematical analysis, which allow rational selection of targets
for genetic modification through measurements and control of
metabolic fluxes. The objective is to identify specific genetics or
environmental manipulations that result in improvements in yield
and productivities of biotechnological processes.
Key features of the book are pathway integration and the focus on
metabolic flux as a fundamental determinant of cell physiology. The
book keeps mathematical complexity to a minimum, and provides a
glossary of biological terms to facilitate use of the book by a
broader spectrum of readers. A web page exists to communicate
updates of the codes and homework problems.
Key Features
* Demonstrates metabolic engineering in action with numerous
examples of pathway modification
* Includes methods for identifying key enzymes in metabolic
networks
* Contains a comprehensive review of metabolic biochemistry
* Discusses metabolic regulation at the gene, enzyme, operon, and
cell levels
* Explains concepts of stoichiometry, kinetics, and thermodynamics
of metabolic pathways
* Minimizes mathematical complexity
* Links to a Web page to communicate updates of the software code
and homework problems

Volume 23 of Advances in Chemical Engineering covers the active
field of process synthesis. There are currently three prevelant
approaches to complex process synthesis strategies:
heuristics-based selection, geometric representation, and
optimization methods. This volume addresses a variety of these
synthesis strategies for process subsystems, representing only a
sample of the state-of-the-art of process synthesis research. The
five papers in this volume address quite different process
subsystems and application areas but still combine basic concepts
related to a systematic approach. All five of the papers develop
successful synthesis methods for their respective cutting-edge
applications. As a group, the papers serve to highlight many
unresolved issues in process synthesis and also provide guidelines
for future research.
Key Features
* Considers current approaches to process synthesis problems
* Examines areas of possible future research
* Articles written by leading experts in the field
Volumes 21 and 22 of Advances in Chemical Engineering contain ten
prototypical paradigms which integrate ideas and methodologies from
artificial intelligence with those from operations research,
estimation andcontrol theory, and statistics. Each paradigm has
been constructed around an engineering problem, e.g. product
design, process design, process operations monitoring, planning,
scheduling, or control. Along with the engineering problem, each
paradigm advances a specific methodological theme from AI, such as:
modeling languages; automation in design; symbolic and quantitative
reasoning; inductive and deductive reasoning; searching spaces of
discrete solutions; non-monotonic reasoning; analogical
learning;empirical learning through neural networks; reasoning in
time; and logic in numerical computing. Together the ten paradigms
of the two volumes indicate how computers can expand the scope,
type, and amount of knowledge that can be articulated and used in
solving a broad range of engineering problems.
Key Features
* Sets the foundations for the development of computer-aided tools
for solving a number of distinct engineering problems
* Exposes the reader to a variety of AI techniques in automatic
modeling, searching, reasoning, and learning
* The product of ten-years experience in integrating AI into
process engineering
* Offers expanded and realistic formulations of real-world problems
Advances in Chemical Engineering, Volume 19 reflects the major
impact of chemical engineering on medical practice, with chapters
covering polymer systems for controlled release, receptor binding
and signaling, and transport phenomena in tumors. Other key topics
include oil refining, pollution prevention in engineering design,
and atmospheric dynamics.
