** Virtual Library for Process Systems Engineering **
http://cepac.cheme.cmu.edu/pasilectures.htm
If you are teaching or taking a graduate level course in the area of
Process Systems Engineering, you may want to learn about a virtual
library that has been created from the Pan American Advanced Studies
Institute (PASI) on Process Systems Engineering that was funded by the
National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy with various
matching funds: http://cepac.cheme.cmu.edu/pasisponsors.htm
The workshop took place on August 16-25, 2005, in Iguazú, Argentina. The
goal was to provide an advanced workshop that would bring together
faculty and Ph.D. students from various countries in the Americas (U.S.,
Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Venezuela). A
major objective was to expose to the participants state-of-the-art
developments in Process Systems Engineering in the following areas:
- Optimization
- Process and Product Design
- Process and Supply Chain Operations
- Process Dynamics and Control
The virtual library, http://cepac.cheme.cmu.edu/pasilectures.htm,
contains a total of 12 modules. Each module consists of the Powerpoint
slides of the presentations of each topic, which are largely tutorial in
nature. These are complemented with background articles that provide
comprehensive reviews. Exercises, as well as MATLAB and GAMS files are
also available, including an exam that contains a total of 36 questions
with answers.
Part 1. Optimization Modules:
Nonlinear and Dynamic Optimization, Lorenz T. Biegler
Mixed-integer Optimization, Ignacio E. Grossmann
Global Optimization and Optimization under Uncertainty, Nikolaos V.
Sahinidis
Seminars:
Dynamic modeling and optimization of large-scale cryogenic separation
processes, María Soledad Díaz.
Disjunctive Programming: algorithms, implementation and solution of
linear and non-linear models, Aldo Vecchietti.
Uncertainty analysis of process design and scheduling, Marianthi
Ierapetritou .
Part 2. Process and Product Design Modules:
Biological pathways analysis and engineering, Costas Maranas
Heat Integration, Miguel J. Bagajewicz
Mass Integration and Pollution Prevention, Mahmoud M. El-Halwagi
Seminars:
Water treatment network, Juan Zamora
Synthesis of membrane processes for effluent treatment and metal
recovery, Ana Maria Eliceche
Synthesis of crystallization-based separation systems, Luis Cisternas
Instrumentation Upgrade for Improved Process Monitoring, Miguel J.
Bagajewicz
Part 3. Process and Supply Chain Operations Modules:
Batch Scheduling, Jaime Cerdá
Supply chain optimization, Jose Pinto
New product development, Rex Reklaitis
Seminars:
Operations management in the fruit industry, Alberto Bandoni
Constraint programming techniques for batch scheduling, Gabriela Henning.
Part 4. Process Dynamics and Control Modules:
Advanced Process Dynamics and Control, Oscar Crisalle
Model Predictive Control, Jay H. Lee
Process Control Design, Thomas E. Marlin
Seminars:
Dynamic process simulation, Argimiro Secchi
Robust control, Darci Odloak
Members of the Process Systems Engineering community should hopefully
find the material to be helpful since it contains useful overviews of
areas that are of current interest and that are not normally found in
textbooks and reference texts. We intend to periodically update the
presentations, and we will appreciate your feedback or comments.
