Part of the book series: Understanding Complex Systems ((UCS))

Abstract

Physical and chemical case studies presented in this chapter are flow-sheet synthesis, cyclic operations of separation, drug delivery systems and entropy production.

For flow-sheeting the enumeration of the separation schemes using categorical frames and the evolvability issues are emphasized.

For cycling operations as simulated moving beds or pressure swing adsorptions, the evolvable multi-scale separation schemes and controls are proposed.

Designs of drug delivery systems able to release the right amount of drug at the right time and place are proposed. Examples refer to patches application and drug targeting.

Entropy balance for multiple scales, for informational and physical entropy is considered. Biosystems, cognitive systems, heat and cooling integration and evolvable technologies are the studied cases.
