    • Machine Learning Tools for Chemical Engineering

      Methodologies and Applications
      • 1st Edition
      • Francisco Javier López-Flores + 4 more
      • English
      Machine Learning Tools for Chemical Engineering: Methodologies and Applications examines how machine learning (ML) techniques are applied in the field, offering precise, fast, and flexible solutions to address specific challenges.ML techniques and methodologies offer significant advantages (such as accuracy, speed of execution, and flexibility) over traditional modeling and optimization techniques. This book integrates ML techniques to solve problems inherent to chemical engineering, providing practical tools and a theoretical framework combining knowledge modeling, representation, and management, tailored to the chemical engineering field. It provides a precedent for applied Al, but one that goes beyond purely data-centric ML. It is firmly grounded in the philosophies of knowledge modeling, knowledge representation, search and inference, and knowledge extraction and management.Aimed at graduate students, researchers, educators, and industry professionals, this book is an essential resource for those seeking to implement ML in chemical processes, aiming to foster optimization and innovation in the sector.

    • Modelling of Chemical Process Systems

      • 1st Edition
      • Syed Ahmad Imtiaz
      • English
      Models and simulations are widely being used for design, optimization, fault detection and diagnosis, and various other decision-making purposes. Increasingly, models are developed at different scales and levels, all the way from molecular level to the large-scale process systems scale. Modelling of Chemical Process Systems gives readers a feel for the multiscale modelling. As models have been developed for various applications, a general systematic method for building model has emerged. This book starts with the history of modelling and its usefulness, describing modelling steps in detail. Examples have been chosen carefully from both conventional chemical process systems to contemporary systems, including fuel cell and bioprocesses. Modelling theories are complemented with case studies that explain step-by-step modelling methodologies. This book also introduces the application of machine learning techniques to model chemical process systems. This makes the book an indispensable reference for academics and professionals working in modelling and simulation.
