The technique uses fundamental thermodynamic principles to allow the mass, energy and work balances locate the attainable region for chemical processes in a reactor. This provides guidance on what design decisions would be best suited to developing new processes that are more effective and make lower demands on raw material and energy usage.}, journal = {International Journal of Chemical and Molecular Engineering}, volume = {10}, number = {6}, year = {2016}, pages = {784 - 790}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10004779}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/114}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 114, 2016}, }
