Supercomputing Strategies for Designing Complex Chemical Processes

在化工工艺设计中，流程设计是一个时间密集的阶段，需要反复进行。它主要处理质量和能量平衡。这项工作将利用新的计算机体系结构，研究更有效、更可靠的方法来求解过程流程图模型的方程。这项研究应该提供一个方法的理解，以利用矢量化和并行处理的解决方程，模拟复杂的化学过程。研究结果应该更广泛地适用于其他工程学科。

In chemical process design, flowsheeting is a time-intensive phase which is done repeatedly. It deals primarily with mass and energy balances. This effort will research into more efficient and reliable methods of solving the equations that model a process flowsheet, taking advantage of new computer architectures. This research should provide an understanding of methods for exploiting vectorization and parallel processing in the solution of equations that model complex chemical processes. The results should be more broadly applicable to other engineering disciplines.
