Computer Aided Modeling of Chemical and Biological Systems : Methods, Tools, and Applications

Computer tools can support and accelerate the development and implementation of first principle models for chemical and biological processes significantly. Several application examples illustrate this in the contribution. Models of a bio-chemical reaction network, of a catalytic fixed bed reactor, and of two chemical production processes are considered. The models are implemented in a structured way in the process modeling tool ProMoT, whose key features are discussed. The structuring of the models is based on a uniform structuring methodology whose main ideas are presented as well. © 2005 American Chemical Society. [accessed 2014 January 9th
