Perfusion for Congenital Heart Surgery: Notes on Cardiopulmonary Bypass for a Complex Patient Population

A complete guide to the tools and techniques for modeling, simulating, and optimizing SSFE processes and phenomenaIn Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization of Supercritical and Subcritical Fluid Extraction Processes, a team of expert chemical engineers delivers a comprehensive guide to the tools and techniques used to model supercritical and subcritical fluid extraction (SSFE) processes and phenomena. The book offers details on SSFE experiment management, as well as modeling and optimization of SSFE. The authors begin with a discussion of the fundamentals of SSFE and the necessary experimental techniques to validate the models. They also discuss process simulators, conventional optimization techniques, and state-of-the-art genetic algorithm methods. Several practical examples and case studies on SSFE modeling and optimization techniques are provided. Additionally, detailed thermodynamic modeling with and without co-solvent and non-equilibrium system modeling are covered. Readers will also find: A detailed overview of the field of supercritical and subcritical fluid extraction and their importance to the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industriesExplorations of the concepts and methodologies for modeling, simulation, and optimization of SSFE, including conservation laws related to SSFE traditional first principle modelingPractical discussions of the characteristics and physical properties of palm oil as a solute and descriptions of some existing palm oil industrial processesAn examination of first principle methodology as applied to the modeling of the properties of palm oil components and mixturesPerfect for researchers, scientists, technologists, and engineers working in food science and the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agricultural industries, Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization of Supercritical and Subcritical Fluid Extraction Processes is also a must-read for those working with process design, development, quality control, and improvement in the chemical industries.
