171 Process Design


Description:
This session emphasizes recent advancements in Process Design. Papers that discuss novel theories and applications, innovative design strategies, incorporation of control or environmental considerations into the design process, and non-traditional process design problems will be encouraged. In addition to the traditional mathematical algorithms used for process design, simulation-based approaches are also sought. Industrial-based applications are also of particular interest. The contribution of the paper to the state-of-the-art should be clearly stated in the abstract.
