Chemical Engineering Aspects of Artificial Lungs

Artificial Neural Network Modelling of Steady State Chemical Engineering Systems

This paper presents the development artificial neural network (ANN) models for three steady state chemical engineering systems, which are 1) a crude oil distillation column for use in real time optimisation, 2) physical properties of palm oil components, and 3) pore size determination for membrane characterization. Although studies on ANN applications in chemical engineering in the literature a...

Artificial lungs: a new inspiration.

An estimated 16 million Americans are afflicted with some degree of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), accounting for 100,000 deaths per year. The only current treatment for chronic irreversible pulmonary failure is lung transplantation. Since the widespread success of single and double lung transplantation in the early 1990s, demand for donor lungs has steadily outgrown the supply. ...

Technical aspects of transplantation of preserved lungs.

Comparison of Engineering Geology Properties Natural Granite with Artificial Types

Understanding of the geological characteristics of artificial stone is of particular importance. Appearance, size and dimensions, specification of particle surface and minerals forming aggregates are among the characteristics of rock materials that affect the homogeneous and cladding environment. Volume variations, water absorption, resistance to atmospheric agents and wear resistance are the m...

Application of chemical engineering principles in development of nanomaterials (review)

Nanotechnology can be applied as a common-purpose technology, as it has important impacts on almost all industries and all areas of science. In those early days, scientists and engineers have confirmed their study on the development of nanomaterials and their applications in various fields. Nanoparticles have a wide range of applications, since it incorporate knowledge from the fields of Physic...
