Call for Papers
AIChE Annual National Meeting
Miami Beach, FL
November 15-20, 1998.
SESSION ON
PROCESS AND PRODUCT DESIGN
This session invites paper submissions reflecting recent advances in
process and product design. Research areas include, but are not limited
to, process design (e.g., pinch analysis applied to heat and mass
exchanger networks, reactive distillation system design, attainable
region concepts applied to reactor design, design for pollution
prevention, and life cycle analysis) and product design (e.g.,
polymers, solvents, refrigerants, catalysts, and pharmaceuticals). To
date, process and product design tools have included mixed integer
nonlinear programming, global optimization, interval arithmetic,
knowledge-based approach, simulated annealing, genetic algorithms. This
session encourages the introduction of other tools outside the usual
set. It has been the norm to discuss process and product design in the
absence of uncertainties. We would like to encourage submitters to
discuss the impact on, and the incorporation of model uncertainties in
the suggested approaches. All areas are encouraged. Whenever possible
the impact of the new research on industrial practice should be
emphasized.
