Ethics
Examining Your Engineering Responsibility
Engineering ethics frequently has nothing to do with technology and everything to do with communication, thought and decision-making patterns, and conflicts around time and money.
Back to Basics
Control Column Pressure via Hot-Vapor Bypass
Hot-vapor bypass employs a flooded condenser located at ground level to control distillation tower pressure. It offers capital cost savings, but can be tricky to implement. This article offers guidance on designing and troubleshooting a hot-vapor bypass system.
Reactions and Separations
Modeling Chemical Reactors
Models can be used to describe chemical reactors to help solve problems and optimize processes, while saving time, money, and resources.
Instrumentation
Measure Viscosity Effectively
Knowledge of a material's rheological behavior can be of value for research and development, process design, and quality control. This article provides a foundation for understanding viscosity measurement.
