Process Systems Engineering

Inspired by the CPSE at Imperial College London, the leading authority in the field, this seven-volume set will be the definitive reference for years to come. It covers the entire field -- from manufacturing industries, molecular and nanoscale phenomena to enterprise-wide optimization and control.The series presents theoretical advances and developments, computational challenges and tools as well as applications in process systems engineering, with particular emphasis placed on novel theoretical algorithms and methodologies for modeling, optimization and control. Real-life applications from the chemical, energy, pharmaceutical, biomedical and related sectors are included to illustrate the applicability and potential benefits of the integrated approach. The aim is also to highlight the importance of fundamental research in developing mechanisms for the transfer of this new technology to industry.Volume 1: Multi-parametric programming - Theory, algorithms and applicationsVolume 2: Multi-parametric model-based control - Theory and applicationsVolume 3: Supply-chain optimization - Part IVolume 4: Supply-chain optimization - Part IIVolume 5: Energy systems engineeringVolume 6: Molecular systems engineeringVolume 7: Dynamic process modelingThe result is a single source of vital information, collating the widely dispersed articles in specialized journals, for academics and researchers carrying out PSE research, industrial practitioners involved in the design, operation and optimization of new and existing processes and products, policymakers, as well as for educational purposes both in academia and industry.
