Overview of Reverse Osmosis for Chemical Engineers Part 1, Fundamentals of Membrane Mass Transfer

Reverse osmosis (RO). has become a standard unit operation in Chemical Engineering. This separation process can be used for a wide variety of applications including: desalination of sea water, treatment of industrial wastes, concentration of food products, and recovery of value materials from solution mixtures. In order to best utilize RO it is necessary to have a fundamental understanding of t...

Fundamentals of Chemical Reactor Theory

Introduction In our everyday life we operate chemical processes, but we generally do not think of them in such a scientific fashion. Examples are running the washing machine or fertilizing our lawn. In order to quantify the efficiency of dirt removal in the washer, or the soil distribution pattern of our fertilizer, we need to know which transformation the chemicals will experience inside a def...

Chemical Kinetics – Fundamentals and Applications in Atmospheric and Combustion Chemistry

Shock tubes are quite universal tools to study high-temperature reactions in the gas phase (800 K < T < 3000 K). A gas mixture is rapidly (t < 1 μs) heated by a travelling shock wave, and species formed behind the shock front are time-resolved detected, where we use absorption spectroscopy [1] and mass spectrometry. [2] Kinetic data are inferred from the concentration-time profiles. A recent ex...

Dynamic Potential Games in Communications: Fundamentals and Applications

In a noncooperative dynamic game, multiple agents operating in a changing environment aim to optimize their utilities over an infinite time horizon. Time-varying environments allow to model more realistic scenarios (e.g., mobile devices equipped with batteries, wireless communications over a fading channel, etc.). However, solving a dynamic game is a difficult task that requires dealing with mu...
