Features: This book extensively integrates applied mathematical methods such as graph theory, numerical analysis, and optimization into the introduction of systematic decomposition, simulation, optimization, and synthesis of chemical processes. The concepts are clear, the arguments are thorough, and the explanations are easy to follow, making it accessible for beginners. The book is divided into 8 chapters. Chapter 1 is an introduction, covering the development history, research content, application scope, and fundamental concepts of process systems engineering. Chapter 2 discusses unit processes and modules, introducing the mathematical models of unit processes and unit degrees of freedom. Chapter 3 explores the structural analysis of process systems, covering system structure models and decomposition methods. Chapters 4 to 6 introduce the three main methods for process system simulation: the sequential modular method, the simultaneous equations method, and the simultaneous modules method. Chapter 7 focuses on process system optimization, covering the establishment and solution methods of optimization mathematical models for process systems, as well as statistical optimization methods for chemical processes. Chapter 8 covers process system synthesis, introducing methods such as separation sequence synthesis, heat exchange network synthesis, system thermal integration, reactor network synthesis, and overall process synthesis. This book can serve as a textbook and reference for engineering master's students in relevant disciplines at universities, as well as a reference book and self-study guide for undergraduate and graduate students in chemical engineering, chemical technology, light industry, metallurgy, and related engineering fields.
