Chemical Engineering Practice

This opening presentation will describe plans in this workshop session to examine AIChE's roles as an institute in Simulation Based Engineering & Science. Roles could include workshops, publications, education both student and public, grants and sponsorships, programming, and roles in national...

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...

Separation of non-volatile reaction products in ionic liquid catalytic processes has been a challenging problem yet is crucial for practicality, due to high viscosity, non-volatility, and easy solidification of the ionic liquid fluid. In this presentation, we'll discuss separation of 5-...

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 session will examine how modeling can be used for discovery and innovation, high fidelity prediction and as a substitute for physical experiment. Also reviewed is the state of code development and management.

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...

Incineration of wastes and combustion of chlorine-rich coal are the major sources of local and global environmental pollution related to hydrogen chloride (HCl) emission. At the same time, HCl is a common tail gas in chemical industry such as PVC and Freon production. HCl is regarded as the most...

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.

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...
