Features: This book is a part of the "Informationization of the Chemical Industry Series." It aims to provide an in-depth yet accessible introduction to the simulation and optimization of chemical processes. The book is divided into five chapters and an appendix. Chapter 1 primarily introduces basic concepts and research scope; Chapter 2 covers commonly used unit process mathematical models from three aspects; Chapter 3 discusses the fundamental theories of process simulation calculations and the main algorithms of process simulation (sequential modular method and simultaneous equation method), while also introducing the basic content and application methods of process simulation software systems; Chapter 4 first explains the differences between dynamic simulation and steady-state simulation, then introduces the numerical solution methods for dynamic process mathematical models. Building on this, it discusses the dynamic simulation of typical unit processes and complex plant processes using dynamic simulation software HYSYS, with the final section covering dynamic simulation training systems; Chapter 5 introduces the basic concepts of optimization algorithms, deterministic and stochastic methods for process optimization, as well as multi-objective optimization algorithms, applying them to chemical process optimization methods. The final section introduces online real-time optimization of chemical processes. This book is suitable for informationization workers, managers, and corporate leaders in petrochemical enterprises, as well as reference material for postgraduate and undergraduate students in management and computer science related to informationization, and for candidates preparing for various chemical informationization certification exams.
