Computers & Chemical Engineering is primarily a journal of record for new developments in the application of computing and systems technology to chemical engineering problems. Several major areas of chemical engineering study are represented in the journal, including: Process synthesis, analysis and design. Dynamic analysis and control of chemical processes. Design methods for chemical engineering equipment, including chemical reactors, distillation columns, extractors, etc. Applications of computing and numerical analysis in chemical engineering science. Process operations (e.g. integrated manufacturing systems, reliability, safety, scheduling). Articles published cover different aspects of the application of computing to one or more of these various areas, including new applications of established methods, comparisons of alternative methodologies, descriptions of state-of-the-art industrial applications and significant computing developments targeted at training/education. Computers & Chemical Engineering publishes full-length articles, survey papers, journal reviews, Short Notes and Letters to the Editor, and the annual proceedings of ESCAPE-the European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering.
