  • Process Descriptions: an Introductory Library Research Assignment on Chemical Processes for First Year Students
    Session 1313 Process Descriptions: An Introductory Library Research Assignment on Chemical Processes for First Year Students S. Scott Moor Lafayette College Abstract In our first year “Introduction to Engineering” class, each student passes through a three-week block on chemical engineering. In such a short period of time, it is always a challenge to give students a clear idea of the nature and diversity of chemical engineering. I have particularly wanted them to understand the process focus of chemical engineering and the wide range of products made with chemical processes. One tool I have used over the past two years is a assignment requiring students to research how some product is made, writing up a brief (two- page plus figures) summary of their research. Groups of three students work on a topic together and are given approximately one week to complete their research. They are required to look into the basic process for making their assigned product, the safety and environmental issues for that process, the uses of the product and some background on the economics of the product. In this paper, I present the details of the set-up of this assignment so it can be easily reproduced. Included are the over 50 topics currently used and references that cover these topics. I also present an assessment of our experience. Students seem to find this assignment interesting and enjoyable. The resulting summaries are generally well done. This assignment has the added benefit of getting the engineering students into the library early in their engineering studies. Introduction In our first year ”Introduction to Engineering” class, I wanted students to gain insight into the nature of chemical engineering and the issues which chemical engineers face.

  • Research Challenges in Process Systems Engineering
    Research Challenges in Process Systems Engineering Ignacio E. Grossmann and Arthur W. Westerberg Department of Chemical Engineering Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 Introduction Companies must design and operate chemical processes effectively and efficiently so they may survive in today’s highly competitive world. Providing the methods, tools and people that allow industry to meet its needs by tying science to engineering is a compelling aspect of Process Systems Engineering (PSE). Despite the importance of the PSE, the scope and research of this area are often not well understood. One of the major reasons is that chemical engineering has evolved over the past five decades from being an engineering discipline rooted in the concept of unit operations to one based on engineering science and mathematics, and most recently to one with increasing ties to the natural sciences. This very significant change in emphasis has created a gap between the science-based and the systems-based research in chemical engineering. We argue here that this gap might be closed in two ways: first, by broadening the definition of Process Systems Engineering through the introduction of the concept of the “chemical supply chain,” and second, by gaining a better appreciation of the intellectual research challenges in this area. We address this last issue by discussing the nature and major accomplishments of the PSE area and outlining emerging research directions. Broadening the Scope of PSE As shown in the insert, Process Systems Engineering is a relatively young area in chemical engineering. PSE is about 35 years old; its progress is closely tied with developments in computing.

'Skip' Scriven is Regents' Professor and holder of the L E Scriven Chair of Chemical Engineering & Materials Science at the University of Minnesota. He is a Fellow of the Minnesota Supercomputer Institute, founded the Coating Process Fundamentals Program, and now co-leads it with Professor Lorraine F. Francis. He is distinguished for pioneering researches in several areas of fluid mechanics, interfacial phenomena, porous media and surfactant technologies, and the recently emerged field of coating science and engineering. He promoted close interactions with industry by showing how good theory, incisive experimental techniques, and modern computer-aided mathematics can be combined to solve industrial processing problems. He graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, received a Ph.D. from the University of Delaware, and was a research engineer with Shell Development Company for four years before joining the University of Minnesota. He received the AIChE Allan P. Colburn Award four decades ago, the William H. Walker Award two decades ago, the Tallmadge Award in 1992, and the Founders Award in 1997. He has also been honored by the University of Minnesota and the American Society for Engineering Education for outstanding teaching. He has co-advised or advised many undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral research students, including over 100 Ph.D.’s. Elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1978, he has served on several U.S. national committees setting priorities for chemical engineering and materials science research. In 1990-92 he co-chaired the National Research Council's Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology, and in 1994-97 he served on the governing Commission on Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Applications.

  • Understanding Nanotechnology and Engineering Nanomaterials for Diverse Technological Applications 18Th to 22Nd December 2017, NIT Tiruchirappalli
    A Global Initiative of Academic Networks (GIAN) Course on Understanding Nanotechnology and Engineering Nanomaterials for Diverse Technological Applications th nd 18 to 22 December 2017, NIT Tiruchirappalli Overview This course provides an insight into fundamental understanding and a diverse range of processes used in the development of the engineering nanomaterials which finds vast technological applications. The properties of a particular material differ from that of the conventional bulk due to its unique features at nanoscale. Again, these properties differ based on the particle size, morphology and composition. These nanomaterials of unique features have been used for various applications and not limited to colloidal dispersions, nanoemulsions for pharmaceutical purposes, biopolymers, metallic particles, antireflection coatings, sensors for cancer diagnosis, magnetic nanoparticles for medical imaging, energy storage materials to enhance heat transfer, nanoclusters for hydrogen storage, electronanocatalyst for fuel cells, catalyst for wastewater treatment and so on. The preparation methods of the nanomaterial decide their properties or have proper control on the morphology leading to the required properties of the end products and their subsequent applications. This course would deal with the synthesis methods that are most commonly used and the latest methods which are under intense research currently. This course would be beneficial to students of all levels (undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral fellows), professors and young researchers of wide discipline such as physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, energy engineering, material science, environmental engineering, etc. and also industry persons. The course participants will be given demonstration of the course contents through soft tools through which the topics covered will provide the motivation for the participants to undergo research.
