Success and Prospects in Thermodynamics

Nov 16, 2008
Peter T Cummings
Accurate thermodynamic models are essential to any chemical engineering endeavor. In this presentation, Cummings reviews some of the more important developments in the history of thermodynamics; from Gibbs and van der Waals in the nineteenth century, to the statistical mechanicians of the twentieth...

Success and Prospects in Transport

Nov 16, 2008
Morton Denn
The study of transport phenomena is an important area of chemical engineering. In many ways it differentiates chemical engineering from other disciplines, such as biomedical and material engineering. In this lecture, Dr. Morton Denn tracks the development of transport in the chemical engineering...
