Chemical Process System Engineering

2016

Use of computational fluid dynamics to model chemical process system has received much attention in recent years. However, even with state-of-the-art computing, it is still difficult to perform simulations with many physical factors taken into accounts. Hence, translation of such models into computationally easy surrogate models is necessary for successful applications of such high fidelity models to process design optimization, scale-up and model predictive control. In this work, the methodology, statistical background and past applications to chemical processes of meta-model development were reviewed. The objective is to help interested researchers be familiarized with the work that has been carried out and problems that remain to be investigated.

in Chamonix, France, covered these three main areas: bioinformatics, biomedical technologies, and biocomputing. Bioinformatics deals with the system-level study of complex interactions in biosystems providing a quantitative systemic approach to understand them and appropriate tool support and concepts to model them. Understanding and modeling biosystems requires simulation of biological behaviors and functions. Bioinformatics itself constitutes a vast area of research and specialization, as many classical domains such as databases, modeling, and regular expressions are used to represent, store, retrieve and process a huge volume of knowledge. There are challenging aspects concerning biocomputation technologies, bioinformatics mechanisms dealing with chemoinformatics, bioimaging, and neuroinformatics. Biotechnology is defined as the industrial use of living organisms or biological techniques developed through basic research. Bio-oriented technologies became very popular in various re...
