One mole of supercooled liquid tin (Sn) is adiabatically contained at 495K. Given: the melting temperature of Sn, Tm, Sn = 505 [K] the enthalpy of fusion of Sn, hfus, Sn = 7070 [J/mol] the heat capacity of liquid Sn, Cp, Sn(l) = 34.7 – 9.2 x10-3 T [J / (mol K)] the heat capacity of solid...

I'm about 70% certain of going to this university in order to do my chemical engineering course. Is there anyone who's been to the university, or knows anyone who has been and can tell me what the institution is like, how much work they had to do to get through and any other things which might...

Need some help here. I'm going for an interview for Chemical Engineering and I'd like to get some detailed info on what's happening in Chemical Engineering. I've looked at Chem Eng journals for developments and here's where the problem is. I have to subscribe since I'm not actually an...

Is there anybody here can give me a chemical engineering example that the final differential equation will be LAGUERRE ?

Hey. There are currently two degrees i am strongly considering taking next year, and chemical engineering is one of them. Reasons for my choice: I love maths I like chemistry Physics is alright =P The income is decent Now, if i did go for this, id make it a double degree and also do a...

I'm a Caribbean student in my final year of high school and want to go to a University in the United States. Could anyone give me an idea of how good the engineering programs, notably chemical are at these schools: Florida Institute of Technology Howard University Georgia Institute of...

I live in seattle, and right now i am heavily considering chemical engineering. I would really love to stay in the seattle area, but I am not sure if i will be able to, as it seems like most of the good chemical engineering jobs are out east. Does anyone know of any chemical engineering...

[FONT="Book Antiqua"]Hello. Does anyone know of some good beginner books on chemical engineering? Anything would be very helpful. Thank you. :shy:

Hi I've recently applied for Chemical engineering at UMIST (Or Manchester university) to, in my mind at the moment, research properties of materials relating to its physical properties, and conductivity. So I would like to ask: What are the current main 'outstanding' problems in...

I've been really trying to grasp the differences between the two. Do Chemists mainly stay in labs and do quality controll/reasearch? While Chemical engineers put allready obtained knowledge into use? I'm really confused on this and can't decide which is more of the direction I'd like to...

I can take one of the following 3 courses as a technical elective. I need to know which would be the most useful to me. My Math background: I have taken a year of Calculus, linear algebra, and diff eq (no partials.) Thermal Physics [text: Kittel "Thermal Physics"]...

I am currently thinking of applying to the university of manchester and imperial college in my Ucas form. However, i didn't take physics in my AS or A-levels. Although they offer ABB/AAB for Chemical engineering without mention of physics, i am concerned. I currently take Maths, Chem...

Why are all Chemical Engineering books at least a $100 or more, while Applied Physics books go for around 20-30 bucks a piece?

i'm applying to take undergraduate chemical engineering and i was wondering if there was anything i needed to know to prepare for it. Chemistry is a very interesting topic to me. I'm currently reading "History of Analytical Chemistry" by Ferenc Szabadvary. Does anyone know of any other good...

This is a simple question that may have a long answer, but here goes. If any of you are chemical engineers, I'd like to know a little bit about your job. What tasks are you normally assigned and what kind of environment do you work in? I appreciate any and all feedback! -Muon12 (the guy...
