A conceptual framework for description of complexity in intensive chemical processes
A possible conceptualisation formalism for high-level description of complex reaction systems is presented. The formalism is intended as a framework for adopting multi-scale modelling and simulation tools to the problems of reverse design of intensive processes and for design of functional materials. The formalism is exemplified through several historical cases from the fields of reaction and materials' engineering. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
