Chemical Engineering Community

Hi!! I was just wondering if there's anyone here who could help or suggest a reference for me regarding Fermentation/Biochemical process scale-up? I really need a good one for our plant design. Thank you in advance!!

Hi everyone!! I'm Joy. A fourth year Chemical Engineering student from the Philippines.. Uhmm.. Does anyone have any idea or suggestion as to where I could find ideas for my research paper?? The research needs to be about a new product and I have no idea how to start... Any tips?? Thank you!! 

 HI. Is this group still alive and working?

I'm having a problem incorporating steam tables for my modeling of a five-effect evaporator in simulink. Can anyone help me? Please?

The specialists of the International center for education "Areopagit" (www.areopagit.com) develop the "convincing" to learn program. This program is designed on the base of the research of Dr. Igor Smirnov “Semantic Stimuli Response Measurements Technology”, or SSRM Tek, a software-based mind reader that supposedly tests a subject's involuntary response to subliminal messages.

The program inspires to recipient an idea about need to learn, think and develop their own abilities. If to unite this program with a network self spreading module (like a virus) then during several months it would install on hundreds of thousands of personal computers around the world. Besides, program can define the language of the user and use suitable - an English, French, Chinese, Spanish, German, Russian or Arabic.

Does anybody know any course in creativity in science?  I'm interested in this theme.

Many thanks!

How do you calculate lost work for a condenser or a boiler if the surrounding temperature isn't given? And you don't know how the condenser or boiler operates. You're given entropy and enthalpy for all entrance and exit streams and the heat applied/lost to the surroundings.

Does anyone know of any software that can perform McCabe-Thiele method for separation processes? My professor requires us to hand our last exam online and it would be very tedious and crude to do the method in Excel or maybe Photoshop, Paint, etc. I could do with paper and pencil but I have no scanner near me. Help!

I need to start looking for a co-op once more, so I was wondering what experienced people have had.  This ranges from looking for co-ops, interviews, and actually being on co-op.  In my school it's common (or at least somewhat encouraged) for Cheme's to leave for a year, rather than a semester because all the courses are only offered once a year (and are prereques for one another).  Is it (was it?) like that in in your case(s)?

Additionally, if any of you college grads are working someone and can mention a co-op opportunity for a Junior-year cheme, it would certainly be appreciated.  Location isn't really an issue, and I can't imagine someone recommending where they're working if they're miserable there.
Thanks.

Also, I think three entries back in my own journal I wrote something (I hope) many of you will find rather amusing.  I suppose some people *might* be uncomfortable reading it... maybe... but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's not safe for work any more than a dirty joke might be.  Here's a link.  It's a public entry, and I submitted the assignment for the professor, so really, how bad could it be?

I was wondering what kind of internships you guys are currently involved in or have done? Right now, I'm trying to apply for a Brookhaven Lab internship and maybe get into their material science department XD Are there any other beneficial internships that you guys could recommend?
