Phenomenon-Driven Process Design Methodology: Computer Implementation and Test Usage;Doctoral thesis

摘要

This work focuses on how to develop a generic computer tool support for a design methodology proposed for chemical engineering purposes. The applied methodology is called Phenomenon Driven Process Design methodology (PDPD), and the formal language of the methodology is called PSSP language, an acronym for Purpose, Structure, State, and Performance attributes. The focus of this work is divided into two theses: (1) Multi-characteristic and creative chemical process research and development work can be supported in a systematic manner - based on PDPD - and implemented as a computer system. (2) The use of this computer system is expected to result in comprehensive process models and modelling work with efficient documentation and data management. These are prospective advantages for any chemical engineering R & D organization.
