Process engineering

branch of science that applies physical sciences and life sciences together with applied mathematics and economics to produce, transform, transport, and properly use chemicals, materials and energy

A process is a series or set of activities that interact to produce a result; it may occur once-only or be recurrent or periodic.

automation systems using control theory and physical industrial control systems to maintain the output of a specific process within a desired range

study of technical processes in which raw or starting materials are transformed into a product by chemical-physical or biological processes

detailed diagram showing piping, process equipment, instrumentation and control devices; used in in process industry

process performed in a technical system

diagram indicating general flow of plant processes and equipment; typically used to show major relationships in chemical and process engineering

target value that an automatic control system, for example PID controller, will aim to reach

model-based representation of processes

in chemical engineering, the choice and sequencing of units for desired physical and/or chemical transformation of materials

academic discipline

American physicist and chemist (1909-1985)
