P-Graph

Introduction

A process graph or P-Graph in short is a unique bipartite graph representing the structure of a process system. In such a graph, the operating units are denoted by horizontal bars, and their input and output materials by solid circles.

Graphical Representation

One set of nodes (horizontal bars) represents the operating units and the other (solid circles) the material streams. There is no arc between two operating units.

Axioms

A P-Graph is defined to be structurally feasible or to be a solution-structure of synthesis problem if it satisfies the following axioms.

Algorithms

MSG Algorithm, SSG Algorithm, ABB Algorithm

Summary

P-Graphs are capable of unambiguously representing process structures, e.g., sequential, parallel, and alternative activities.
