Review text

The authors aim at introducing stochastic modeling in such a way as to bridge the gap between the fields of applied mathematics and process technology. Much of this gap is simply due to differences in terminology and manner of exposure rather than to differences in substance. The book consists of nine chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the principles behind modeling in process technology in general, and sets out stochastic modeling on this backdrop. The mathematical foundation for stochastic process modeling based on Markov chains is given in Chapter 2. This chapter also introduces some basic concepts used later in the book. Chapter 3 describes some stochastic models for batch fluidized beds and discusses the mathematical foundation for modeling processes where interference between particles needs to be taken into account an issue that is relevant in many processes, not only fluidized beds. Chapters 4 and 5 discuss the issue of particle residence time distribution (RTD) in single process vessels and in complex processes involving several vessels with continuous in- and outflow. RTD theory forms an important part of stochastic modeling in the research literature. Chapter 6 focuses on stochastic modeling of stirred tank reactors. Network-of-zones modeling and stochastic modeling of processes with chemical reaction are discussed here. Chapter 7 is concerned with processes where the properties of solid particles are modified. The chapter introduces population balance modeling, and discusses its relation to Markov chains. Chapter 8 introduces a stochastic modeling for multiphase systems. Finally, Chapter 9 is concerned with the derivation of a continuous stochastic model as the limit of a discrete one.
