Frontiers of Chemical Engineering: the Systems Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
A dramatic shift in chemical engineering undergraduate education has been proposed based on NSF-funded, discipline-wide workshops that took place in 2003. This has led to a broad consensus regarding foundations for chemical engineering undergraduate education in the future based on the organizing principles of (1) molecular transformations; (2) multiscale analysis, and (3) the systems approach. The third area is the focus of this paper, as it relates to systems and control and the increasing importance of biological systems in chemical engineering as well as the development of new educational materials.

متن کاملA Theoretical Mass Transfer Approach for Prediction of Droplets Growth Inside Supersonic Laval Nozzle
Proper estimation of droplet growth rate plays a crucial role on appropriate prediction of supersonic separators performance for separation of fine droplets from a gas stream. Up to now, all available researches employ empirical or semi-empirical correlations to define the relationship between droplet growth rate (dr/dt) and other operating variables such as temperatures (T and TL), Pressure (P...

متن کاملOptimal Control of Nonlinear Multivariable Systems
This paper concerns a study on the optimal control for nonlinear systems. An appropriate alternative in order to alleviate the nonlinearity of a system is the exact linearization approach. In this fashion, the nonlinear system has been linearized using input-output feedback linearization (IOFL). Then, by utilizing the well developed optimal control theory of linear systems, the compensated ...
متن کاملFuzzy Efficiency Measures in DEA: A New Approach based on Fuzzy DEA Approach with Double Frontiers
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method to measure relative efficiency of a set of decision-making units (DMUs) which uses multiple inputs and produces multiple outputs. In the conventional DEA, crisp inputs and outputs are fundamentally necessary. But the observed values of inputs and outputs in real-world problems are sometimes imprecise. Thus, performance measurement often needs to be do...
