Description This volume brings together all related topics on process plant simulation, a course that is offered in many institutions both in India and abroad for undergraduate as well as postgraduate students of chemical engineering.
The book adopts a generalized approach to modelling various engineering systems in such a way that the underlying principles can be applied to any new system in engineering, science, and other applied disciplines. It includes concepts on modelling, optimization, decomposition of networks, modular and equation-solving approaches, data regression, convergence promotion, etc.
Students pursuing courses on process modelling and simulation as well as those involving optimization techniques and mathematical methods in chemical
engineering and computer-aided design (CAD) will find the book useful. It would also serve as an up-to- date reference for researchers, professionals, and consultants.
KEY FEATURES
Offers exhaustive coverage of all topics related to plant simulation Covers traditional as well as non-traditional optimization techniques Discusses case studies on specific-purpose and dynamic simulation Includes an overview of professional software packages used in plant simulation, such as HYSIS and FLUENT Includes a CD-ROM containing program codes and related useful information
