In process and chemical engineering, dynamic process models based on conservation laws have become an indispensable tool for the development of new processes and the improvement of existing ones. However, the development of realistic and predictive models is a challenging and time consuming task. The major targets in model building are to choose, validate and revise the physical model assumptions to accomplish the mechanistical sense. Modeling is an iterative process so as the simulation. Virtually every model of a complex process is inadequate at the beginning and requires a lot of refinements before it delivers a satisfactory result. Often, it is necessary that experts from different fields share their knowledge during the model development process. With this background
