The proposed research addresses the generation, analysis, and                   evaluation of alternative reaction routes.  These ideas, which                  complement those recently developed by chemists, are to be applied to           the synthesis of chemical processing systems where raw material costs,          energy comsumption, and other economic variables are important                  considerations.  The characteristics of chemical reaction paths will be         investigated for the purpose of selecting and evaluating promising              reaction routes and intermediate chemicals for the design of closed             cycle reaction sequences for identifying feasible paths of difficult            overall reactions, chemical reaction heat pumps, and solar energy               storage systems.
