This is a new look at chemical complex systems seen in the light of the growing industrial reliance on very large numbers of compounds and dramatic advances in computation tools for analysis and prediction. The book reviews the state of the science, revisits fundamentals of stoichiometry, thermodynamics, and kinetics, and develops a coherent picture of future research needs and directions. It covers the major applications for practical modelling of complex chemical systems throughout chemical engineering and deals with topics of emerging interest, such as hazards control; chemical reaction engineering of multicomponent mixtures; comparison of lumping versus continuum approaches, and group contribution methods applied to kinetics and thermodynamics. It also features a thorough discussion of complex systems relevant to the chemical and petroleum industries. This book should be of interest to chemists and chemical engineers in the petroleum, petrochemical, and chemical industries.
