Python is a general-purpose programming language used extensively in web development, information technology automation, and TECHNICAL COMPUTING. In this presentation, we will explore some applications of Python technical computing in the chemical engineering domain. First, we will learn about some of the various and easy ways to get up and running with Python including the Anaconda Python distribution. Next, we will explore some general technical computing tasks such as importing data, solving systems of equations, plotting results, and writing results to files before we solve some classic chemical engineering problems. If there’s time at the end, we will wrap up with a demonstration of some atypical but perhaps useful techniques such as scraping data from scanned documents and character recognition with deep learning.
Paul Adamson is a researcher and project manager in the Plasma Physics Division of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.C. The current focus of his research is computing electron scattering cross sections for air plasma chemistry models using close-coupling methods. This meeting is free and open to all, not just to Virtual Local Section members.
