What will be reviewed in this brief period is what simulation software can and cannot do. "The Good the Bad, and the Ugly" is not necessarily a facetious title for what we will go over in the next hour or two. In brief, the seminar will cover: Steady-State problems; transient unsteady state problems...

Very few of us can remember those stone age days of chemical engineering before there were fax and Xerox machines, PC’s, cell phones, email, the internet and even Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Yet it was back in those very days of 1973 when two intrepid Chem E’s attempted to create a relatively...

Nuclear power plants are complex and intimidating machines. Based on the potential for component failures, nuclear power plants are designed to cope with a wide range of potential operational transients. These include minor equipment failure to extensive postulated accidents. Previous lectures...

The National Chemistry Week (NCW) program of the Cleveland Section of the American Chemical Society (ACS) began in 1994 with an idea to put together a scripted program that could be performed at any local school or library. It is a fun and educational program designed to interest students in grades...

W. M. Wilson Company, Inc is a Manufacturers’ Representative/Distributor of steam specialties and process safety equipment that has been serving the industry since 1945. Recently, W. M. Wilson Company, Inc has opened a comprehensive hands-on, steam system training facility, located at their main...

The IBM Quantum System One installed at the Cleveland Clinic is the first quantum computer in the world to be uniquely dedicated to healthcare research with an aim to help Cleveland Clinic to accelerate biomedical discoveries. Using quantum mechanics, new computing machines can process information...

Let us travel through space and time with a local business owner, STEM career advocate, and NASA JPL Solar System Ambassador, who will explain why life is not a space race but a deep motivational journey! In addition, we will receive outstanding project research presentations from some of our 2024...

***CANCELLED*** Process Safety Fundamentals: Chemical Process Safety is widely regarded as a vital and significant part of an overall Environment, Health and Safety Management System for chemical operations. We will briefly examine some recent process safety incidents which will help us understand...

The Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded about $ 1 Billion to the Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2). This region is in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The ARCH2 project will ramp up the hydrogen economy in this region, with existing markets for transportation, power...

As the world and the country try to go green, many are taking a fresh look at nuclear power as a non-emitting power source. This lecture will go into the basics of the nuclear reaction and how this reaction creates heat to make electricity. How is power generated from a nuclear reaction? What is the...

As the world looks to decarbonize, industrial processes will have to meet the challenges. One possible outcome for industrial decarbonization is changing to hydrogen as a fuel source from traditional carbon-based fuels. However, pure hydrogen as an industrial fuel source in the metals industry is...

We will receive a tour of the ASM International Gardens area surrounding the facility as well as a facility tour of the educational facilities for customized on-site educational operations and a description of remote in-classroom delivery operations.

AIChE Student Advisor and CWRU Professor Christopher Wirth will have questions from the AIChE CWRU Student Chapter in advance where he will moderate a discussion between the AIChE Professional Chapter Panel (Kruttika Patel; John Juchnowski; Lindsey Sullivan, PE; Michael Galgoczy, PE; and Joseph...

Aside from Anheuser-Busch, Inc. being the largest brewer in the U.S., they have been working on sustainable processes for five decades that would convert most waste products into useful secondary by-products. Ranging from CO2 collection from fermentation for production of O’Doul’s;...

Ohio is an early leader in the hydrogen economy, with existing markets for transportation, power generation and industrial use. Growth in these markets will require hydrogen generated by both steam methane reformation and electrolysis. The presentation will discuss the Ohio Clean Hydrogen Hub...
