Modeling & Simulation

Updated 2025-02-05

I’ll be progressively adding more links and material.

This page links to white papers and tutorials about the “why” and “how to” of modeling and simulation of chemical processes (food, glass, refining, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, paper, etc.). This page provides links to extended versions of my short presentations in the ProseraPod series, https://prosera.com/company/ProseraPod.

Simulators are used for process design, economic optimization, training, trouble shooting, and many other applications. Steady-state simulators have been the mainstay, but dynamic simulators, which reveal how process states change in time, have many advantages.

Why use dynamic simulation over steady state simulation?

Why use first-principles models over empirical models?

How to develop first-principles models?

How to Validate Models?
