Advanced Modelling and Simulation in the Chemical and Biochemical Process Industry

Advanced Modelling and Simulation in the Chemical and Biochemical Process Industry explores modelling and simulation of chemical and biochemical processes at the industrial scale using a variety of approaches. Particular attention is devoted to simulations in different scales, which help achieve a wide-spectrum and more efficient analysis of several problems, ranging from the design of novel materials to the optimization of industrial processes as a function of the operating conditions. This book not only covers optimization with experimental data but also offers readers a thorough understanding and analysis of different parameters of a whole process stream.

• Covers a wide range of advanced modelling and simulation of chemical technologies: ab initio, atomistic molecular dynamics (MD), Lattice-Boltzmann (LB), dissipative particle dynamics (DPD), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and finite element (FEM)
• Addresses issues associated with process control in different phases of the chemical industry
• Features modelling approaches that allow the design of novel processes/materials in a faster and more reliable way

This book will be of interest to researchers and advanced readers in chemical, biochemical, environmental, and materials engineering and industrial chemistry.
