Charpentier JC Among the trends for a modem chemical engineering, the third paradigm the time and length multiscale approach as an efficient tool for process intensification and product design and engineering, Chem Eng Res Des 88(3A) 248—254, 2010. 

Since the nineties of the last century, the prevailing paradigm of unit operations has been complemented and partly replaced by a product-orientated approach (Cussler and Moggride, 2011 Hill, 2004 Kind, 1999). Now product properties are in the focus product design strategies and the engineering of advanced materials are the results of this approach. 

Let us now give a brief synopsis of the themes advanced by each of the ten chapters. The five chapters of Volume 21 (Part 1) advance paradigms which are related to product and process design, while the five chapters of Volume 22 (Part II) focus on aspects of process operations.
