Atoms to Processes: The Role of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Chemical Engineering

The article discusses how the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is transforming chemical engineering by influencing problem formulation, analysis, and solution across a wide range of applications, from atomic-scale simulations to industrial operations. It highlights recent methodological advances and representative uses, noting a shift from purely black-box models to hybrid and physics-informed frameworks that incorporate conservation laws, thermodynamic consistency, and structural constraints. These integrated approaches enhance robustness, reliability, and human-AI collaboration, ultimately amplifying rather than replacing core chemical engineering principles.

Learning-Based Decision Making for Combustion Phasing Control in Multi-Fuel CI Engines with Latent Fuel Reactivity Estimation

arXiv:2606. 18393v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-fuel compression-ignition engines offer fuel flexibility but introduce uncertain, time-varying fuel reactivity, represented by cetane number (CN), which complicates cycle-to-cycle combustion-phasing control.

ReCurveflow: A Flow Matching Framework that Learns Curved Reaction Trajectories to Predict Transition State Geometries

ReCurveflow is a flow‑matching framework that learns to predict transition state geometries by training on continuously curved reference paths derived from full NEB bands, rather than straight linear paths. It introduces an off‑path correction mechanism that generates corrective velocity fields when the model encounters geometries off the training path, improving resistance to exposure bias and TS prediction accuracy. Across multiple data splits and evaluation metrics, ReCurveflow outperforms seven baselines and produces reaction trajectories whose energy profiles closely follow the reference NEB path, aiding NEB optimization and demonstrating effective corrective behavior.
