Chemical Engineering Open Access Articles
Chemical engineers have been improving our well-being for more than a century. From the development of smaller, faster computer chips to innovations in recycling, treating disease, cleaning water, and generating energy, the processes and products that chemical engineers have helped create touch every aspect of our lives. Browse the pages below to learn about the many significant advancements that chemical engineers have made to our world. You'll learn about chemical engineering’s great achievements, bold innovators, and new frontiers in the fields of energy, the environment, biomedicine, electronics, food production, and materials. Chemical engineering education is nowadays increasingly supported by the use of various computational tools as the employers’ requirements for computing skills of graduates are growing too. However, students often acquire computational skills in an unsystematic manner due to a lack of defining and applying computer-based outcomes within the syllabuses suitable for the particular level of the Bologna three-cycle system. Chemical engineering covers an extremely wide range—unit operations that have played an important role in the early stages of chemical engineering, all systems and equipment in a chemical process (from raw material feed to product supply), and biotechnology and new material engineering, which are recent subjects of interest. It is said that the warp of chemical engineering comprises the means—mass transfer, energy balance, thermodynamics, transport phenomena, reaction engineering, system engineering, and so on
