A Century of Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics Education: A Survey of Thermodynamics and Transport Properties in Chemical Engineering Education in Europe and the US

Nov 17, 2008

Peter Ahlstrom et al.

Thermodynamics and Transport Properties (TTP) is a central subject in the majority of chemical engineering curricula worldwide and it is thus of interest to know how it is taught today in various countries if chemical engineering education is to be improved. In the present study, a survey about...

A Century of Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics Education: Visualization: Exposing the Art in Thermodynamics

Nov 17, 2008

Kenneth Jolls

This talk will present both old and new examples of thermodynamic information visualized and touch also upon the use of graphics in other areas of chemical engineering education. Half a century ago Edward R. Murrow predicted that "Television can teach." But some would argue today that his prophecy...

A Century of Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics Education: Concepts in a Thermodynamics Chemical Engineering Course

Nov 17, 2008

John L. Falconer

Good problems require good wrong answers that show the misconceptions many students have about the material. Examples will be presented to demonstrate the lack of understanding of some of the important concepts in chemical engineering thermodynamics, such as vapor pressure, phase equilibrium, phase...

A Century of Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics Education: Molecular Concepts in Thermodynamics Education

Nov 17, 2008

David A. Kofke

This presentation will describe past, present, and future roles of molecular concepts in thermodynamics education.

A Century of Process Safety: Safety and Chemical Engineering Education ֠History and Results

Nov 17, 2008

Joseph F. Louvar

CCPS/SACHE is making progress via motivating professors regarding the importance of process safety (workshops for professors in a plant environment), helping professors add safety to their courses (developing course safety materials), and motivating students regarding the importance of process...

A Century of Process Safety: Process Safety at OSHA

Nov 17, 2008

Lisa Long

This presentation will provide a brief history of OSHA's efforts in process safety management. It will include discussion of the PSM standard and other compliance efforts including the combustible dust and petroleum refinery NEP's.
