Publisher's Synopsis
The proceedings of COPE-91 represent the continuing effort of both the scientific and industrial community to make known what is new in research and development in the increasingly important interdisciplinary field of computers in chemical engineering. The symposium focussed on the following topics:;# Artificial Intelligence in Chemical Engineering;# Computer Integrated Process Engineering;# Reliability and Risk Assessment;# Process Design under Uncertainty;# Education and Training in Computer Applications;The theoretical and practical aspects of the use of computers in chemical engineering covered in this book should find wide use in libraries and research facilities, and should have a direct impact in the chemical industry, particularly in production automation, utility networks and computer integrated process engineering.
