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.

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.
Most of the shaping in the manufacture of polymeric objects is
carried out in the melt state, as it is a substantial part of the
physical property development. Melt processing involves an
interplay between fluid mechanics and heat transfer in
rheologically complex liquids, and taken as a whole it is a nice
example of the importance of coupled transport processes. This book
is on the underlying foundations of polymer melt processing, which
can be derived from relatively straightforward ideas in fluid
mechanics and heat transfer; the level is that of an advanced
undergraduate or beginning graduate course, and the material can
serve as the text for a course in polymer processing or for a
second course in transport processes.
