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 modelling"
(organised by Mark I. Nelson) at the 34th Australasian Chemical Engineering
Conference (held between 17th-20th September 2006, in Auckland, New
Zealand). The papers in this special 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.
