The present book offers a theoretical examination of the contemporary methodologies employed for modeling diverse chemical engineering processes. Presently, the two primary challenges confronting the chemical industry are the optimal design of new devices and the optimal control of active processes. These challenges are frequently addressed by developing novel modeling techniques. While the methods used to model specific processes may vary, they all aim to bring the mathematical description closer to the actual processes by utilizing appropriate experimental data.

In this book, the authors present a novel approach for modeling chemical processes in column apparatuses. Furthermore, they elucidate the types of neural networks that have demonstrated efficacy in resolving critical chemical engineering problems. Readers are also provided with mathematical models of integrated bioethanol supply chains (IBSC) that achieve enhanced economic and environmental sustainability.

The integration of energy and mass processes stands as a formidable tool for the development of sustainable and energy-efficient production systems. This book delineates the primary approaches for the thermal integration of periodic processes, both direct and indirect, as well as the recent integration of small-scale solar thermal dryers with phase change materials as energy accumulators. An exhilarating overview of emerging methodologies for modeling chemical engineering processes, this book serves as a valuable guide to the significant advancements being made in theoretical chemical engineering.
