AIChE Central Florida March 2017 Dinner Meeting 

 

The field of chemical engineering has many overlaps in a practical sense with other technical disciplines, especially chemistry and mechanical engineering. However, it has many unique features that are important to understand, both in practice and in working with and communicating with other disciplines. These include the practical aspects of chemistry scale-up, the concept of balances, reactive chemicals, separation processes, and chemical process control.

This presentation will review these important concepts with illustrations and practical examples from the AIChE course “Chemical Engineering for Non-Chemical Engineers”.
