CEP: AIChE Journal Highlight - Accounting for Atmospheric Nanoparticles in Climate Models

Journal Highlight

November

2013

Climate models use mathematical equations to represent interactions between and within the ocean, land, ice, and atmosphere — providing a means to understand the climate system and predict future climate changes. They are becoming increasingly sophisticated, especially in their handling of atmospheric nanoparticles, say Peter Adams, Neil Donahue, and Spyros Pandis of Carnegie Mellon Univ. in the November AIChE Journal Perspective article, “Atmospheric Nanoparticles and Climate Change.”

Optimize Energy Use in Industrial Cooling Systems

Potential energy savings for chilled-water cooling systems are often overlooked. A detailed review of the cooling system along with the appropriate temperature and flowrate measurements will help you identify ways to cash in on these savings.

Ten Steps to an Effective Bin Design

Before choosing a bin and hopper for your bulk solids application, the flow properties and characteristics of the powder or bulk material must be known. Use this ten-step approach to determine the optimal bin design for your process.

Consider Single-Use Equipment for Biomanufacturing

Traditional stainless steel equipment is increasingly being replaced with disposable units in new and existing processes alike, enabling more flexibility, higher efficiencies, and lower costs. Follow the guidance offered here to determine the most-effective single-use approach for your facility.
