Chemical Engineering
> What's CE ? [ 1 / 2 ] |
You may possibly imagine 'chemistry' when you hear 'chemical engineering'. Yes, we do, but we also get involved in various fields which are actually regarded as 'physics'. The reason is, many of the chemical companies have diversified their products into nonchemical area, such as steel, paper and glass. Even after they developed their new market, you see, the required basic knowledge is similer to the conventioal technique which they had applied for 'chemical' industries. For instance, 'Heat Transfer' which is one of the essential knowledge for chemical industries, is also important in most of the nonchemical plants. Generaly speaking, the basic fields of chemical engineering includes Thermodynamics, Transport Phenomena, Heat Transfer, Reaction Kinetics and Separation Process. While these are specific units in chemical process, there is a study which try to organise the method for controlling whole process, so called Process Engineering. Meanwhile, the area has been enlarged into biological process and plasma process which are considered to be new reaction fields. ( 29th Sep 2004 ) |
