Process Systems Engineering (PSE) is the scientific discipline of integrating scales and components describing the behavior of a physicochemical system, via mathematical modelling, data analytics, design, optimization and control. PSE provides the ‘glue’ within scientific chemical engineering, and offers a scientific basis and computational tools towards addressing contemporary and future challenges such as in energy, environment, the ‘industry of tomorrow’ and sustainability. This perspective article offers a guide towards the next generation of PSE developments by looking at its history, core competencies, current status and ongoing trends.

过程系统工程–下一代？

过程系统工程（PSE）是一门科学学科，它通过数学建模，数据分析，设计，优化和控制来集成描述物理化学系统行为的秤和组件。PSE在科学化学工程中提供了“胶水”，并提供了科学基础和计算工具来应对当代和未来的挑战，例如能源，环境，“明天的工业”和可持续性。本观点文章通过查看其PSE的历史，核心竞争力，当前状态和持续发展趋势，为下一代PSE的发展提供了指南。
