Preface
The aim of this book is to teach the use of modelling and simulation as an aid to the understanding of chemical engineering processes and their dynamics. This is done via a combination of basic modelling theory and computer-based examples, which are used to emphasise basic principles and also cover a wide range of applications. As in our first book, "Biological Reaction Engineering", the examples are based on the use of the ISIM simulation language, which provides a very powerful tool in solution, but which is also very simple in application. The many examples, demonstrate simple modelling procedures, that can be used to represent
