Chemical Engineering Practice

Smart Process Manufacturing (SPM) is a dramatically intensified knowledge-enabled industrial enterprise in which ALL business and operating actions are executed to achieve substantially enhanced energy, sustainability, environmental, safety and economic performance. When SPM is applied...

The rapid growth in computing power has presented both opportunities and challenges for high-fidelity simulations of turbulent reacting flows. The advent of petascale supercomputers has made it possible to glean fundamental physical insight into fine-grained ‘turbulence-chemistry' interactions in...

Simulation-Based Engineering and Science (SBE&S) involves the use of computer modeling and simulation to solve mathematical formulations of physical models of engineered and natural systems. The impacts of SBE&S can be observed in critical industries, such as pharmaceuticals,medical imaging...

There is a chasm between promising nanotechnological advances in the laboratory and commercial manufacturing. Many techniques have been developed to produce exquisitely controlled nanopatterned surfaces with amazing and potentially valuable properties. These methods, however, are almost always on...

Despite some carbon dioxide producing chemistries, Most CO2 emissions in the chemical industry result from the combustion of carbonaceous fuels. Reducing the carbon footprint of chemical plants then involves two strategies: reducing process energy requirements, and reducing the carbon emissions...

Ionic liquids (ILs) are a new class of substances exclusively composed of cations and anions, and they have shown unique physico-chemical properties differing from aqueous ionic solutions and high temperature molten salts. Although many attentions have been paid on ILs, the knowledge of ILs is...

This will be an open discussion with the speakers and attendees to identify key elements of high performance computing for innovation, prediction, substitution for physical experiment. An objective will be define actions and approaches in which Simulation Based Engineering and Science can benefit...

This session will examine plant, company and industry roles in energy, sustainability, environment, EH&S and economic performance across several areas of Smart Manufacturing and manufacturing innovation. Presentations and discussion are organized to identify key elements that involve cross...

A new field of study is evolving within the materials profession called Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME). ICME involves development of unified materials models which integrate information across length and time scales and across knowledge domains and enables integration of...

This presentation will provide information and data that will inform the discussion about AIChE's institute role in SBE&S. Included will be key findings from the High Performance Computing and Smart Manufacturing sessions and results of the program survey on SBE&S.
