ABSTRACTPI: Mario R. Eden Institution: Auburn UniversityProposal Number: 0546925Title: CAREER: Targeted Approaches for Integrated Process and Product DesignIntellectual MeritMany of the overarching issues dictating process/product selection and performance are not component dependent, but are driven by properties and functionalities. The PI therefore seeks to enhance the fundamental understanding of integrated process and product design by developing a more general design framework to track, transform, and integrate properties. This framework should enable a natural decomposition of process and molecular design problems without loss of alternatives. This will be achieved through rearrangement of the model structure to interface the process and molecular design problems through a set of target properties. If successful, this work will lead to a general property integration methodology capable of handling an entire class of problems that conventional composition based methods fail to address adequately. Introduction of holistic and systematic process systems engineering (PSE) methods to emerging technological areas, such as biorefineries and other polygeneration facilities, will enhance the understanding of interactions between different parts of the system. As these new technologies evolve, a variety of possible process configurations and product portfolios will be identified. The PI seeks to obtain an in-depth understanding of the effects of changes in economic, social, political and environmental conditions on the structure and design of such facilities. The proposed framework will enable analysis of the profitability and environmental impact of different products and associated production routes, and thus guide further research towards the technologies showing the highest potential. If successful, this work will lead to a flexible general framework capable of identifying the most profitable set of products and processing routes in polygeneration facilities like biorefineries. The major goals of this CAREER project are: 1. Advance research in property based process/product design and integration 2. Promote the awareness and use of PSE methods in emerging research and education areas 3. Promote national and international collaboration on PSE research and education.Broader ImpactThese unique and novel approaches will result in advancing creativity and insightful understanding in the design, integration and optimization of processes and products. The envisioned frameworks are expected to garner further interest in the PSE community and related fields. Because of the generic nature and general applicability, the devised techniques will have societal, economic, and environmental benefits by aiding the process industries in devising novel technologies, that lead to enhanced profitability and sustainability through efficient resource utilization and material substitution. The collaboration established with key industries and leading research institutions will facilitate the realization of the broader impacts of the proposed work. The developed methods will be transferred to the classroom in senior design and graduate level courses at the three participating universities and beyond. To further insure broad dissemination of the project results, the PI will develop a textbook accompanied by online computer-aided educational modules on property integration to show how the methodology can be incorporated in education and industrial applications.

摘要PI：Mario R. Eden 机构：奥本大学提案编号：0546925 标题：职业：集成流程和产品设计的目标方法智力优点许多决定流程/产品选择和性能的首要问题并不依赖于组件，而是由属性和功能驱动。 因此，PI 力求通过开发更通用的设计框架来跟踪、转换和集成属性，从而增强对集成流程和产品设计的基本理解。 该框架应该能够自然分解过程和分子设计问题，而不会丢失替代方案。 这将通过重新排列模型结构以通过一组目标属性将过程和分子设计问题连接起来来实现。 如果成功，这项工作将产生一种通用的属性集成方法，能够处理传统的基于组合的方法无法充分解决的整类问题。 将整体和系统的过程系统工程（PSE）方法引入新兴技术领域，例如生物精炼厂和其他多联产设施，将增强对系统不同部分之间相互作用的理解。 随着这些新技术的发展，将确定各种可能的工艺配置和产品组合。 PI旨在深入了解经济、社会、政治和环境条件的变化对此类设施的结构和设计的影响。 拟议的框架将能够分析不同产品和相关生产路线的盈利能力和环境影响，从而指导对显示出最高潜力的技术的进一步研究。 如果成功，这项工作将形成一个灵活的总体框架，能够确定生物精炼厂等多联产设施中最有利可图的产品组合和加工路线。该职业项目的主要目标是： 1. 基于属性的流程/产品设计和集成的推进研究 2. 促进新兴研究和教育领域对 PSE 方法的认识和使用 3. 促进 PSE 研究和教育方面的国内和国际合作。更广泛的影响 这些独特而新颖的方法将提高流程和产品的设计、集成和优化方面的创造力和深刻理解。 设想的框架预计将引起 PSE 社区和相关领域的进一步兴趣。 由于通用性和普遍适用性，所设计的技术将通过帮助过程工业设计新技术而产生社会、经济和环境效益，从而通过有效的资源利用和材料替代来提高盈利能力和可持续性。 与关键行业和领先研究机构建立的合作将有助于实现拟议工作的更广泛影响。 开发的方法将转移到三所参与大学及其他大学的高级设计和研究生水平课程的课堂上。 为了进一步确保项目成果的广泛传播，项目负责人将开发一本教科书，附带有关财产整合的在线计算机辅助教育模块，以展示如何将该方法纳入教育和工业应用。
