The methods used by chemists and chemical engineers for the conception, design and operation of chemical process systems have undergone significant changes in the last 10 years. The most important of modern computer-aided techniques are process analysis and process system synthesis, both of which are closely related. The first part of the book presents the principles of model building, simulation and model application. On the basis of an appropriate set of hierarchical levels of chemical systems, the general strategy of analysis by deterministic and statistical methods is treated. The second part deals with process system synthesis beginning with reaction path analysis. One of the major features of this part are new methods for the synthesis of reactor networks, separation sequences, heat-exchanger systems and entire chemical process systems by a combined procedure of heuristic rules and fuzzy set algorithms. This procedure, which is known as knowledge engineering, is an efficient combination of human creativity and theoretically based knowledge.

This dictionary has been compiled by chemical engineers and translators from universities and academies who are actively involved in chemical engineering research and education as well as in foreign-language training. 
 Process technology is an important branch of the technical sciences and technology and deals with the research design, projection, erection and operation (control) of processes and plants of the chemical industry and other related industries including the fuel, building, glass, ceramic, metallurgy, food and paper industries. The entries in this dictionary cover the following fields: Fundamentals, methods and principles of chemical engineering (balances, modeling, scaling-up, physio-chemical properties, optimization); Processes and apparatus including: separation processes; reaction engineering; process technology; chemical process systems and energy systems; apparatus and plants; ecology and plant protection/safety.
