Process Systems Engineering

Professor Sargent (1983)“Process systems engineering is all about thedevelopment of systematic techniques for processmodelling, design and control”.

“Some formulate their synthesis, design and/orcontrol problem, or some useful simplification of it, inprecise mathematical terms, and then seek to exploitthe mathematical structure to obtain an effectivealgorithm, while others seek insight on the problemstructure from physical intuition’
