    What is the true meaning of chemical activity in solutions?

    Thanks for the reply! Certainly, that makes sense, but I guess maybe a better way to ask my question is what are the practical meaning of activity? Assume we lived in a world where I could take a microsope and selectively look at aqueous copper and optically filter out all of the water (thought...

    What is the true meaning of chemical activity in solutions?

    Hello - I am wondering abut the meaning of chemical activity. Most definitions are something along the lines of "effective concentration," which is fine until you have a real concentration in a lab, and you don't know if you need to calculate the concentration or "effective" concentration of the...

    NMR Diastereotopic Proton Splitting

    This is one of those questions that probably has a very simple answer, but I can't find it anywhere, and as much as I think about it, the more confused I get. Can diastererotopic protons have different number of split peaks in their overall signal like on a CH2R group, for example, one proton...

    I Order of Operations for Tensors

    Hey so probably a really simple question, but I'm stumped. How do you simplify: ν∇⋅(ρν), where ν is a vector ∇ is the "del operator" ⋅ indicates a dot product ρ is a constant. I want to say to do the dyadic product of v and ∇, but then you would get (v_x)*(d/dx) + ... which would be...

    A Triple Product in Laplace Transform

    Hello - I'm not sure this is where this should go, but I'm working with Laplace Transforms and differential equations, so this seems as good a place as any. Also, I doubt this is graduate level math strictly speaking, but I went about as high as you can go in calculus and linear algebra during...

    Book of T-S diagrams, or the like

    Thank you for the reply! Yes, I found three different ones in less than two minutes that worked fine. I'm certainly not opposed to google, and use it for pretty much everything, but I guess I'm old school a little bit in that I prefer to flip through a physical page if it doesn't make me lose...

    Book of T-S diagrams, or the like

    This looks good! Thanks for the suggestion!

    Book of T-S diagrams, or the like

    Hello - I just starting out in chemical engineering. I hold a batchelor's degree in Chemistry, and am making a transition to ChemE. This isn't for any class, just in general for reference, does anyone know of a good book that is primarily just thermodynamic charts, like T-S diagrams? I have...

    Chemistry Level of statistics required in Process Chemistry and ChemE

    Certainly. I assumed that all would be necessary, and it would vary by the job. Having only been a chemist until now, and having only used statistics so far in my single analytical chemistry class in any real capacity, any starting point is good, even if the answer is usually more of a case by...

    Chemistry Level of statistics required in Process Chemistry and ChemE

    Ok that's really good to know going forward that I should definitely try to get those classes. Given that I won't be able to take all of the applicable ones, which would you say of DOE, Regression, or SQC is the most sought after in industry in new applicants? It seems that knowledge of...

    Chemistry Level of statistics required in Process Chemistry and ChemE

    Question: So I hold a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry and have just started a M.S./Ph.D. track in Chemical Engineering. My dream job is in mineral processing (the biggest dream is with an asteroid mining company), but I understand that the school I'm going to is heavily focused on drug discovery...

    Engineering Path to Mining Engineering Career

    So, I am a student at the university of Richmond, a small liberal arts college, and my goal coming in was to go for the 3/2 engineering program partnership with Columbia, but I decided that I wanted to go into Mining and Minerals, which happens to be one of the few Engineering programs that...

    What is the geometric interpretation of the vector triple product?

    The interpretation of the vector product is the area of the parallelogram with sides made up of a and b and the scalar triple product is the volume of the parallelpiped with sides a, b, and c, but what is the interpretation of the vector triple product. Is it just simply the area of the...

    More general formula for integrals

    I was wondering: Is there an even more general formula for the integral than int(x^k) = (x^(k+1))/(k+1) that accounts for special cases like int(x^(-1)) = ln|x| and possibly u substitutions?
