1. Modeling and simulation

1.1 Model and modeling

In process engineering, the mathematical model is an excellent means of capitalizing on knowledge, and can be seen as an essential vector for transferring knowledge acquired in research to operational and decision-making units. It enables us to understand the physical, chemical and biological phenomena involved, so we can better design, optimize, operate, control and develop material transformation processes.

The use of mathematics to provide a rigorous, systematic and quantitative link between molecular and microscopic phenomena on the one hand, and macroscopic process performance on the other, has been rooted in process engineering research and teaching principles since the pioneering efforts of the 1960s. With the increased performance...
