Process systems engineering v. 6 Molecular systems engineering

These books bring forth the three important fields of theoretical advances, applications and tools in PSE. Particular emphasis is placed on novel theoretical algorithms and methodologies. Furthermore, real-life applications from the chemical, energy and biomedical sectors illustrate the applicability and potential benefits of this integrated approach. The book series is intended for academics and researchers that carry out PSE research, industrial practitioners involved in the design and operation of new and existing processes and products, policy makers and product designers, as well as for educational purposes both in academia and industry. The books follow a continuous, structured path covering all the key issues: theoretical developments, computational challenges, applications and tools for industrial and educational purposes.Efstratios N.
