With the rising cost of energy and increased government oversight of greenhouse gas emissions, reducing energy consumption is a key topic for chemical engineers. Christianto Wibowo, principal engineer at ClearWaterBay Technology, talks about ways to manage energy consumption in chemical plants.
Researchers at Rice University have announced a nanotechnology success that could play a significant role in making renewable energy more practical and could contribute to many electrical applications where weight is a factor. The breakthrough: researchers have created carbon nanotubes that are approaching electrical conductivities seen in metal wires, a goal that has been pursued since the 1980s.
Maria K. Burka, 2011 AIChE President and Program Director, Process and Reaction Engineering (National Science Foundation), will be giving a plenary lecture at the 12th Annual Mediterranean Congress of Chemical Engineering in Barcelona, Spain.
There's a long list of things I learned in school, and I am grateful for all of that knowledge. It makes me the stellar employee that I am today, but there are a few things that I have learned in the real world that I really wish they would have clued me in on before releasing me out into the world.
For the past two decades the capability of protein engineers to devise clever tumor-targeting molecules has outstripped our understanding of how these agents distribute through the body and permeate...
This month, CEP looks at measuring temperature by direct contact, solids and fluids handling, eye protection, and much more. Read on for a full-article preview and more about this month's issue.
