Abstract
This research outlines a methodology for constructing chemical system models using
unit operations as the building blocks. Order reduction of the nonlinear models produced
is also addressed. A nonlinear analysis methodology based on bifurcation theory
is presented. Bifurcation theory is introduced from an engineering perspective.
Finally a nonlinear design technique is illustrated using a CSTR model. Throughout
the dissertation, a simple example is used to illustrate the various metnodologies.
