Abstract:
The papers in this issue of Chemical Product and Process Modelling are substantially those
that arose from special sessions on “process simulation and control” (organised by Brent R. Young)
and “mathematical modeling” (organised by Mark I. Nelson) at the 34th Australasian Chemical
Engineering Conference (held between 17-20th September 2006, in Auckland, New Zealand). The
papers in this special issue are available at: http://www.bepress.com/cppm/vol2/iss2. The papers
featured in this issue have been revised and extended from CHEMECA and re-reviewed before
publication here.
All the papers in this issue use mathematics. However, this special issue only features a small number
of the presentations at CHEMECA that use mathematics. Mathematics finds many practical
applications within chemical engineering and consequently presentations involving mathematics
were featured in many special sessions throughout CHEMECA. Some of these presentations will
appear in special issues elsewhere. In particular, the papers from every session that were nominated
for the John Brodie award are appearing in a special issue of the Asian-Pacific Journal of
Chemical Engineering.
