Product and Process Design Principles: Synthesis, Analysis, and Evaluation

Product and Process Design Principles: Synthesis, Analysis, and Evaluation by Lewin, Daniel R.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780471216636.

One of the most important objective in this text describes the strategies and approaches for the design of chemical processes. It covers economic (optimization) and environmental issues. The latest design strategies are described, most of which have been improved significantly with the advent of computers, mathematical programming methods, and artificial intelligence. Various methods are utilized to perform the extensive calculations and provide graphical results that are visualized easily, including the usage of computer programs for simulation and design optimization.
