Applying CBR and Object Database Techniques in Chemical Process Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to introduce a new method for finding and reusing process equipment design and inherently safer process configurations by case-based reasoning (CBR) and object database techniques. CBR is based on finding most alike existing solutions and applying the knowledge of their properties for solving new problems in the early phases of design. This supports design engineer's knowledge by allowing a systematic reuse of existing experience in order to improve the quality and safety of new designs. The possibilities of CBR and object database techniques in chemical process engineering field have been illustrated by two prototype applications.

Conceptual process design phase is of prime importance to the performance and the profitability of a new or retrofit process. It is also a highly complex task with a large number of process alternatives, a large variety of requirement specifications and large differences in temporal and spatial scales. Therefore, it is essential to continuously improve design methods. The research should not on...

Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is a promising methodology for solving many complex engineering design problems. CBR employs past problem-solving experiences can when solving new problems. This paper presents a case-study in how to apply CBR to a specific engineering problem: mechanical bearing design. The authors have developed a system that retrieves previous design cases from a case repository an...
متن کاملCase-based Reasoning for Separation Process Synthesis
A method of reusing existing design cases for synthesis of distillation process sequences is presented. The approach uses case-based reasoning (CBR) that finds the most similar existing separation designs and applies the knowledge of their concept for solving new problems. The method has previously been developed for selection of single separations and simple sequences but has now been extended...

متن کاملDetermining high-quality critical body residues for multiple species and chemicals by applying improved experimental design and data interpretation concepts.
Ecotoxicological effect data are generally expressed as effective concentrations in the external exposure medium and do thus not account for differences in chemical uptake, bioavailability, and metabolism, which can introduce substantial data variation. The Critical Body Residue (CBR) concept provides clear advantages, because it links effects directly to the internal exposure. Using CBRs inste...
