Abstract

Thermodynamic foundations of an information-based systems approach to designing complex engineering objects with hierarchical structure using macrolevel and microlevel models are presented in application to chemical engineering systems. The hierarchical structure of a chemical engineering system is characterized by three levels: the system as a whole, chemical-engineering processes (elements of the system), and microstates (results of transformations). The design of the elements of the system is based on the thermodynamic model at the microlevel. After a certain formalization of matter and energy transformations, this model characterizes the process of information acquisition. The design of the chemical engineering system on the macrolevel is described by a model of a stochastic process of the fluctuation of average process energy levels. This model establishes the coordinated operation of the elements of the system according to the zeroth law of thermodynamics. A minimax problem of the optimal design of a complex engineering object is formulated. The problem is based on a combination of three laws of thermodynamics: the first, the second, and the zeroth, which allows one to achieve emergent properties of the system as a whole.

基于信息的系统方法设计复杂工程对象的热力学基础

摘要

介绍了基于信息的系统方法的热力学基础，该方法使用宏观和微观模型设计具有层次结构的复杂工程对象，并将其应用于化学工程系统。化学工程系统的层次结构具有三个层次的特征：整个系统，化学工程过程（系统元素）和微状态（转换结果）。系统元素的设计基于微观层面的热力学模型。在物质和能量转换经过一定形式化之后，该模型表征了信息获取的过程。宏观水平上的化学工程系统的设计由平均过程能级波动的随机过程模型描述。该模型根据热力学的零定律建立系统元素的协调运行。提出了复杂工程对象最优设计的极小极大问题。该问题是基于热力学三个定律的组合：第一，第二和零，这使一个人可以实现整个系统的紧急特性。
