Computer-aided Modeling of Reactive Systems Book

Learn to apply modeling and parameter estimation tools and strategies to chemicalprocesses using your personal computerThis book introduces readers to powerful parameter estimation and computational methods for modeling complex chemical reactions and reaction processes. It presents useful mathematical models, numerical methods for solving them, and statistical methods for testing and discriminating candidate models with experimental data. Topics covered include:Chemical reaction modelsChemical reactor modelsProbability and statisticsBayesian estimationProcess modeling with single-response dataProcess modeling with multi-response dataComputer software (Athena Visual Studio) is available via a related Web site http://www.athenavisual.com enabling readers to carry out parameter estimation based on their data and to carry out process modeling using these parameters. As an aid to the reader, an appendix of example problems and solutions is provided.Computer-Aided Modeling of Reactive Systems is an ideal supplemental text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in chemical engineering courses, while it also serves as a valuable resource for practitioners in industry who want to keep up to date on the most current tools and strategies available.Read More
