The text adopts a generalized approach to modelling various engineering systems so that the underlying principles can be applied to any new system in engineering, science, or other applied discipline.

This volume brings together all related topics on process plant simulation, a course that is offered in many institutions both in India and abroad for undergraduate as well as postgraduate students of chemical engineering. The book adopts a generalized approach to modelling various engineering systems in such a way that the underlying principles can be applied to any new system in engineering, science, and other applied disciplines. It includes concepts on modelling, optimization, decomposition of networks, modular and equation-solving approaches, data regression, convergence promotion, etc. Students pursuing courses on process modelling and simulation as well as those involving optimization techniques and mathematical methods in chemical engineering and computer-aided design (CAD) will find the book useful. It would also serve as an up-to- date reference for researchers, professionals, and consultants.
