Parent topics
- Chemical engineering [r]: a branch of engineering that uses chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems involving fuel, drugs, food, and many other products [e]
Subtopics
- Continuous distillation [r]: An ongoing separation process in which a liquid mixture of two or more miscible components is continuously fed into the process and physically separated into two or more products by preferentially boiling the more volatile (i.e., lower boiling point) components out of the mixture. [e]
- Absorption (chemistry) [r]: A process by which a substance incorporated in one state is transferred into another substance of a different state (e.g., gases being absorbed by a liquid or liquids being absorbed by a solid). [e]
- Theoretical plate [r]: A hypothetical zone or stage in a chemical engineering separation process in which two phases, such as the liquid and vapor phases of a substance, establish an equilibrium with each other. [e]
- Distillation Design [r]: A chemical engineering book that completely covers the design of industrial distillation columns. [e]
- Entrainment (engineering) [r]: The entrapment of one substance by another substance. [e]
- Fenske equation [r]: An equation for calculating the minimum number of theoretical plates needed to separate a binary feed stream by a fractionation column operated at total reflux (i.e., meaning that no overhead product is being withdrawn from the column). [e]
- McCabe-Thiele method [r]: A graphical method considered to be the simplest, most instructive method for the analysis of binary distillation. [e]
- Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook [r]: The eighth edition of a chemical engineering reference book that has been a classic for more than seventy years. [e]
- Reflux (distillation) [r]: A distillation technique involving the condensation of the distilled product vapors and the return of a portion of the condensate to the distillation system from which it originated. [e]
- Relative volatility [r]: A measure that compares the vapor pressures of components in a liquid mixture that is widely used in designing distillation and similar separation processes. [e]
- Vacuum distillation [r]: The laboratory or industrial-scale distillation of liquids performed at a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure. [e]
