Constrained nonlinear programming problems abound in a very large number of science and engineering areas such as chemical process design, synthesis and control facility location network design electronic circuit design and thermodynamics of atomic/molecular clusters.

Machine invention is clearly an act of synthesis, as is engineering design. In synthesis we construct, assemble, and put together ideas, elements, concepts, or combinations of these in order to create an artifact that hopefully does something useful. We combine elements into a whole, into a new entity.

This book is intended for use by students in senior design courses in which dynamics and control are incorporated with the traditional steady-state coverage of flowsheet synthesis, engineering economics, and optimization. A modern chemical engineering design course should include all three aspects of design (steady-state synthesis, optimization, and control) if our students are going to be well-prepared for what they will deal with in industry.
