'''Chemical process modeling''' is a [[computer modeling]] technique used in [[chemical engineering]] [[Process design (chemical engineering)|process design]]. It typically involves using purpose-built software to define a system of interconnected components, which are then solved so that the [[Steady state|steady-state]] or dynamic behavior of the system can be predicted. The system components and connections are represented as a [[Process Flow diagram]]. Simulations can be as simple as the mixing of two substances in a tank, or as complex as an entire [[alumina]] refinery.
