What is chemical engineering
all about? – by Vicente E. Garcia
Are you having a hard time with
picking a college course? If you are, well
you are not alone because the majority of
students these days are troubled with the
course they will be taking as they are fully
aware of the fact that their chosen course
will greatly affect their future so they have
to pick the one that will never regret when
they got older.
Some would choose easier courses but
according to statistics, easier courses have
a smaller room for personal improvement
and job search. With these courses being
widely in demand with the young
generation, they are instances where they
are having a hard time looking for a job
because of their co-graduates who are
looking on the same field.
They can still prevent this future
problem if they are open their minds on
the idea of taking tough courses such as
Chemical Engineering. They should not
be frightened if they heard that this
course is one of the hardest courses
available today. As they read this article,
they will be enlightened on the fact that
although the course is hard it has
numerous benefits they cannot attain
with other courses.
Let us now discuss, what is chemical
engineering all about?
Chemical Engineering is basically is a
stem in applied chemistry. It is one of the
branches of engineering which is created to
concentrate with the designs, construction and
operations of machinery and plants that are
performing different chemical reactions in
solving practical problems or creating some
useful products.
Like other engineering courses, Chemical
Engineering also revolves in math, physics
and economics for them to solve technical
problems. Its only difference with other
engineering courses is that it implies the
knowledge of chemistry in addition to other
engineering disciplines. This is the reason on
why Chemical Engineers are often called as
“universal engineers” because of their broad
knowledge in science and technology.
To know more about Chemical
Engineering here are some of the concepts
Chemical Engineers are focus on:
Construction and Design of Plant
Chemical Engineers are the one who plot the
plan, specification and the economic analysis
of the plant to be modified, pilot plant or for
new plants.
Processing of Designs and Analysis
Chemical Engineers are trained for unit
operations which are a physical step in an
individual chemical process. The unit operation
is composed of filtration, crystallization,
evaporation and drying which are used in
preparation for purifying and separating
products and controlling of energy transfer in
reactors.
Transporting of Phenomena
This mostly occurs on industrial problems which
include fluid dynamics, mass transfer and heat
transfer. These industrial problems are mainly
concerned with energy transfer, momentum
transfer and the transport of chemical species.
Chemical Reaction
Chemical Engineering manages plant processes and
its condition to attain optimum plant operation.
Chemical Reaction Engineers are constructing
different models for “reactor analysis” and designs.
To do so, they have been using laboratory data’s
and physical parameters to be able to solve
problems and in predicting reactor performance.
