All process documents intended for the process design effort originate from the engineering discipline (chemical and biochemical), which embraces... 

There are three basic engineering fields of knowledge. These are called the engineering arts and sciences. They are the mechanical arts and sciences, the chemical arts and sciences, and the electrical arts and sciences. Every specific engineering discipline, such as petroleum engineering, utilizes one of the basic engineering fields of knowledge as their scholarly foundation. 

Chemical vapor deposition is a synthesis process in which the chemical constituents react in the vapor phase near or on a heated substrate to form a solid deposit. The CVD technology combines several scientific and engineering disciplines including thermodynamics, plasma physics, kinetics, fluid dynamics, and of course chemistry. In this chapter, the fundamental aspects of these disciplines and their relationship will be examined as they relate to CVD. 

All the scientific and engineering disciplines involved in materials research are in need of better instrumentation and facihties. Suitable equipment for chemical engineers interested in materials questions might include the following ... 

These challenges are critical to the profession of chemical engineering, the chemical industry, and our country. Risk assessment and management involve input from a multitude of different disciplines. The methodology is rapidly changing and extremely complex and reqrrires both technical input and input from professionals with expertise in legal, economic, judicial, medical, regrrlatory, and public perception issues.

To prevent or at least minimize such problems, we must better understand the environment at all levels, including the fundamental chemical processes that affect it. We have learned the lesson that when assessing the fate of new products in the environment, we should not underestimate the potential of these to appear in unexpected places. The recognition, avoidance, or solution of complex environmental problems requires the expertise of a variety of science and engineering disciplines. Only then will it be possible to produce realistic evaluations of how new compounds will be distributed and will act in the ecosystem. In addition to chemistry and biochemistry, fields such as solution thermodynamics and transport phenomena in which many chemical engineers work, as well as earth sciences and environmental engineering, have crucial contributions to make. 

Expert systems represent a branch of artificial intelligence that has received enormous publicity in the last two to three years. Many companies have been formed to produce computer software for what is predicted to be a substantial market. This paper describes what is meant by the term expert system and the kinds of problems that currently appear amenable to solution by such systems. The physical sciences and engineering disciplines are areas for application that are receiving considerable attention. The reasons for this and several examples of recent applications are discussed. The synergism of scientists and engineers with machines supporting expert systems has important implications for the conduct of chemical research in the future some of these implications are described. 

Industrial chemistry means different things to different people. Most will agree that the phrase includes the practical applied chemistry that bridges the gap between basic research and development and at least two other disciplines, chemical engineering and chemical marketing. The present text... 

One of the characteristics of the book is to treat the case with multiple steady states as the general case while the case with a unique steady state is considered a special case. When reading Chapter 2, our readers should notice the systems similarities between chemical and biological systems that make these two areas conjoint while uniquely disjoint from the other engineering disciplines.
