Hybrid Modeling in Process Industries

This title introduces the underlying theory and demonstrates practical applications in different process industries using hybrid modeling. The fundamental part covers questions on “How to develop a hybrid model?”, “How to represent and identify unknown parts?”, “How to enhance the model quality by design of experiments?” and “How to compare different hybrid models?” together with tips and good practices for the efficient development of high quality hybrid models. The application part covers the utilization of hybrid modeling for typical process operation and design applications in industries such as chemical, petrochemical, biochemical, food and pharmaceutical process engineering.
