Acerca de los autores

Ian Cameron is Professor in Chemical Engineering at the University of Queensland with teaching, research, and consulting activities in process systems engineering. He has a particular interest in process modelling, dynamic simulation, and the application of functional systems perspectives to risk management, having extensive industrial experience in these areas. He continues to work closely with industry and government on systems approaches to process and risk management issues. He received his BE from the University of New South Wales (Australia) and his PhD from imperial College London. He is a Fellow of IChemE.

Katalin Hangos is currently a research professor at the Computer and Automation Research Institute, Hungary. She is one of the few woman professors in process systems engineering with a strong background in systems and control theory and computer science. Dr. Hangos's main interest is dynamic process modeling for control and diagnosis purposes. She is co-author of more than 100 papers on various aspects of modeling and its control applications including nonlinear and stochastic process system models, Petri nets, qualitative, and graph-theoretical models.

Gregory Stephanopoulos is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at MIT. He received his B.S. from the National Technical University of Athens, his M.S. from the University of Florida and his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota, all in Chemical Engineering. Upon graduation, he joined the Chemical Engineering Faculty of the California Institute of Technology, where he served as Assistant and Associate Professor until 1985. In 1985 he was appointed Professor of Chemical Engineering at MIT where he has been ever since.Stephanopoulos' work has appeared in more than 150 publications and 7 patents. He has been recognized with the Dreyfus Foundation Teacher Scholar Award (1982), Excellence in Teaching Award (1984), and Technical Achievement Award of the AIChE (1984). He has been a Presidential Young Investigator and the Chairman of the Food Pharmaceutical & Bioengineering Division of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (1992). In 1992 he was a Visiting Professor at the International Research Center for Biotechnology at Osaka University and was elected a Founding Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering. In 1996 he chaired the first Conference on Metabolic Engineering and gave the inaugural Bayer Lecture on Biochemical Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley. He was honored with the FPBE Division Award at AIChE in 1997.

De la contraportada

Process modeling is one of the key aspects of process systems engineering. It is a significant activity in most major companies around the world, driven by applications such as process optimization, design, and control.

Process Modeling and Model Analysis gives a comprehensive treatment of process modeling for the student, researcher, and industrial practitioner. It presents a systematic approach to modeling covering model formulation, documentation, analysis, solution, and validation. Process models depend not only on the process itself, but also on the modeling goal. This book, therefore, places its main emphasis on process models for dynamic simulation and process control purposes.

This book:

• Introduces a structured modeling methodology emphasizing the importance of the modeling goal and including key steps such as model verification, calibration, and validation
• Focuses on novel and advanced modeling techniques such as discrete, hybrid, hierarchical, and empirical modeling
• Illustrates the notions, tools, and techniques of process modeling with examples and advances applications
