REMARKS ON SINO-GERMAN WORKSHOP ON CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL INTERACTIONS BETWEEN PARTICLES AND FLUIDS

This paper presents some remarks on the perspectives of process engineering in the 21st century extracted from the discussion at the workshop. It is considered that the field will be upgraded by introducing knowledge in other fields, extended to even more applications by generalizing the relevant methods, and unified to, at least covered by,the complexity science. Transdisciplinarity is necessary to cope with this challenge.
