Computing and Systems Engineering

There is a chasm between promising nanotechnological advances in the laboratory and commercial manufacturing. Many techniques have been developed to produce exquisitely controlled nanopatterned surfaces with amazing and potentially valuable properties. These methods, however, are almost always on...

Despite some carbon dioxide producing chemistries, Most CO2 emissions in the chemical industry result from the combustion of carbonaceous fuels. Reducing the carbon footprint of chemical plants then involves two strategies: reducing process energy requirements, and reducing the carbon emissions...

This will be an open discussion with the speakers and attendees to identify key elements of high performance computing for innovation, prediction, substitution for physical experiment. An objective will be define actions and approaches in which Simulation Based Engineering and Science can benefit...

This session will examine plant, company and industry roles in energy, sustainability, environment, EH&S and economic performance across several areas of Smart Manufacturing and manufacturing innovation. Presentations and discussion are organized to identify key elements that involve cross...

This presentation will provide information and data that will inform the discussion about AIChE's institute role in SBE&S. Included will be key findings from the High Performance Computing and Smart Manufacturing sessions and results of the program survey on SBE&S.

Smart process manufacturing (SPM) refers to a design and operational paradigm involving the integration of measurement and actuation; environment, safety, and health (ES&H) protection; regulatory control; real-time optimization and monitoring; and planning and scheduling. It is motivated by...

Session highlights and fundamentals of smart manufacturing plants will be presented.

Simulation and computer aided calculations are widely utilized and increasingly relied on in development, design, and engineering for chemical and related process industries. Examples include chemical process simulation, unit operation modeling, equipment modeling, sizing, costing, fluid dynamics...
