System synthesis network level

Process integration and system synthesis require a skillful manipulation of system components. For example, heat exchanger network synthesis requires the utilization of very specialized methods of analysis [111, 112]. The search for an efficient system operation requires a multidisciplinary approach that will inevitably involve simultaneous utilization of heat transfer theory and thermal and mechanical design skills as well as specific thermodynamic considerations and economic evaluation. The optimal design of a system cannot be achieved without careful thermo-economic considerations at both system and component (i.e., heat exchanger) levels.

The dopamine system constitutes the cellular and biochemical network that is involved in the synthesis, release, and response to dopamine. In general, this involves cells that express significant levels of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and limited amounts of dopamine (3-hydioxylase [1]. Dopamine-responsive cells express receptors specifically activated by this neurotransmitter, which are known as dopamine Dl, D2, D3, D4, and D5 receptors [2, 3]. 

As in the case of acyclic compounds, the level of difficulty of the synthesis of a cyclic compound depends upon whether the molecule is a consonant or a dissonant system. However, some additional difficulties may be encountered in molecules with medium-sized rings as well as in polycyclic bridged compounds, which are treated in the next Chapter. On the other hand, as we have seen in Heading 4.3, even simple monofunctionalised cyclic molecules may require a FGA operation before bond disconnection of the cyclic network at the ipso-, a- or 13-positions can be effected. 

Hierarchical Approach is a simple but powerful methodology for the synthesis of process flowsheets. It consists of a top-down analysis organised as a clearly defined sequence of tasks grouped in levels. Each level solves a fundamental problem as, number of plants, input/output structure, reactor design and recycle structure, separation system, energy integration, environmental analysis, safety and hazard analysis, and plantwide control. At each level, systematic methods can be applied for the synthesis of subsystems, as chemical reaction, separations, or heat exchangers network.
