The concept of an innovation map is developed to connect material, process, and product technologies to the value proposition of the new products. By retracing the advances in developing incandescent light bulbs, the interplay between technical discovery and its commercialization into new products is shown. Although the design of the incandescent light bulb is presented in hindsight, this interplay is the key to the design of new products; however, unfortunately, in new product design, there are many alternatives to explore that may not be fruitful.

Beginning with the innovation map (Widagdo, S., Incandescent light bulb: Product design and innovation, Ind. Eng. Chem. Res., 45 (25), 8231-8233 (2006)) that links the critical technological advances necessary to meet customer needs, aspects of the Stage-Gate TM product-development process (SGPDP) are considered with emphasis on the concept, feasibility, and development stages. A focus is placed on the design of basic chemical products (e.g., commodity and specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals, polymeric materials), industrial chemical products (e.g., films, fibers, paper, glass substrates, pastes, creams), and configured-consumer chemical products (e.g., light bulbs, hemodialysis devices, labs-on-a-chip). Perspectives on the role of process design in the context of product design are presented.

Designers lag behind in developing and utilizing these tools, as many design strategies assume idealized behavior even though processes contain an increasing number of nonlinear elements. This article examines the sources of the nonlinear elements, often associated with physical and chemical interactions, in designs and their control systems. Promising methods for nonlinear analysis are revie wed. In each design activity, involving simulation, economic optimization, projections of controllability and operability, emphasis is on the sources of nonlinearities and solution methods. These are examined for the equality constraints and nonlinear programs in phase and chemical equilibria, in reactors and separators, and in the simulation and optimization of flowsheets. Also examined are the impact of nonlinear predictive control in screening designs and methods to insure operability, in the face of uncertainties.

With an equilibrium-stage model, singularities are observed as the second liquid phase is introduced on the trays and regions of steady-state multiplicity are demonstrated. Furthermore, a critical aqueous reflux ratio, in the vicinity of which two liquid phases are introduced on most of the trays, varies only slightly with the number of trays in the tower. The model predicts that the product purities and recoveries remain high using one-third of the trays in the industrial SBA-II tower. Bifurcation analysis for a single stage does not explain these observations, and the effect of recycle is suspected.

Included are an algorithm for the consistent initialization of index-I differential/ algebraic equations, a novel algorithm for branch switching when the phase distribution changes at a real bifurcation point, and a reliable algorithm for phase stability analysis. Open-loop responses are presented for the dehydration of secbutanol with disecbutylether in single-stage, I2-tray, and 33-tray separators. These simulation results for the 33-tray tower are in qualitative agreement with experimental measurements for the ARCO SBA-II tower.

Emphasis is placed on the reaction tangent plane and its importance for stability analysis. Calculation methods to locate the global minimum of the Gibbs free energy are reviewed with emphasis on the GOP method that achieves ϵ-global convergence. Methods for the simulation and design of reactive-distillation columns are considered with emphasis on reactive azeotropes and reactive residue curves for chemical reactions at equilibrium or kinetically controlled.
