Synopsis

Molecular simulation is an emerging technology for determiningthe properties of many systems that are of interest to the oil andgas industry, and more generally to the chemical industry. Based ona universally accepted theoretical background, molecular simulationaccounts for the precise structure of molecules in evaluating theirinteractions.Taking advantage of the availability of powerful computers at moderatecost, molecular simulation is now providing reliable predictionsin many cases where classical methods (such as equations of stateor group contribution methods) have limited prediction capabilities.This is particularly useful for designing processes involving toxiccomponents, extreme pressure conditions, or adsorption selectivityin microporous adsorbents. Molecular simulation moreover providesa detailed understanding of system behaviour.As illustrated by their award from the American Institute of ChemicalEngineers for the best overall performance at the Fluid SimulationChallenge 2004, the authors are recognized experts in Monte Carlosimulation techniques, which they use to address equilibrium properties.This book presents these techniques in sufficient detail for readersto understand how simulation works, and describes many applicationsfor industrially relevant problems. The book is primarily dedicated tochemical engineers who are not yet conversant with molecular simulationtechniques. In addition, specialists in molecular simulation will beinterested in the large scope of applications presented (including fluidproperties, fluid phase equilibria, adsorption in zeolites, etc.).

À propos des auteurs

Bernard Tavitian graduated from the Ecole Centrale de Paris in 1984, where heearned a Ph.D. in Biophysics. Joining IFP in 1990 as a research chemist, he is incharge of applying molecular simulation to adsorption in zeolites for industrialseparations.

Philippe Ungerer, IFP Professor and Associate Professor at Paris XI University,graduated from the School of Mines in Paris (1978) and holds a Ph.D. in PhysicalChemistry. Working at the IFP since 1980, he is involved in the fields of appliedthermodynamics and molecular simulation.

Anne Boutin graduated from the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris in 1990and holds a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry. A research fellow at the French nationalresearch agency C.N.R.S., she works in the group of Professor A. H. Fuchs at theUniversity of Paris XI in Orsay.
