Abstract

In this paper a brief, commented introduction to thermodynamics highlighting its connections with the simulation of chemical processes is presented. With these connections established I proceed to comment on current challenges faced by process and product modelers and conclude with a peek into the future of process and product design and the role of thermodynamics as the unifying discipline for engineers.
