Engineering Sciences and Fundamentals

Core Programming Overview:

This core programming consists of presentations relating to fundamental studies and presentations in the engineering sciences and such as thermodynamics, transport properties and processes, interfacial phenomena, fluid mechanics, flow systems, dispersions and high pressure studies.  Many of these fundamental presentations are cosponsored by other programming areas.  The sessions included in the program may be found in the technical program at http://aiche.confex.com/aiche/2008/techprogram/D1268.HTM.

Topical Conference Proceedings:                                                      

A complete 2008 Annual Meeting Proceedings CD-ROM will be available for $95 at the conference and may be ordered in advance using the conference registration form. All submitted papers received prior to the pre-conference deadline will be included and where papers are not uploaded, paper proposal abstracts will be used. The e-mail addresses of speakers will also be included to facilitate contact.  Following the meeting the price of the CD-ROM will increase and availability will be subject to supply.
