Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the technology of large-scale chemical production and the manufacture of products through chemical processes. Today, the field of chemical engineering is a diverse one, covering areas from biotechnology and nanotechnology to mineral processing.

Is a stone biodegradable?

No. Biodegradation is when something is broken down by living things (like bacteria). Stones can be broken down into smaller stones by weather, and minerals and salts can be leached out of them by water, but stones are not biodegradable.

What does flooding velocity in packed column means?

Flooding velocity in a packed column refers to the minimum gas or liquid velocity at which the column becomes completely filled or "flooded" with the fluid, preventing effective mass transfer. At this point, the flow regime transitions from a more efficient operation to a less efficient one, often leading to reduced separation performance. Understanding flooding velocity is crucial for optimizing the design and operation of packed columns in processes like distillation, absorption, and chemical reactions.

Where can you buy tnt?

You have to go to an explosives dealer that sells TNT. Yes, they exist. They will ask to see your explosives license before you can buy anything from them--like any business that deals strictly with "the trade," if you're not in the trade they won't even let you buy a Coke out of the vending machine in the office.

How does temperature affect the physical properties of petrol?

An increase in temperature will reduce the density, reduce the viscosity, reduce thermal conductivity, and increase the specific heat capacity.

A decrease in temperature will have the opposite affect.

Is diethyl ether soluble in hexane?

Diethyl ether does not dissove in ether at room temperature

What is the chemical formula for Fe2O3?

That is the chemical formula. The name would be iron (III) oxide, or ferric oxide in the old system.

How is oxygen separated from air?

How do you separate nitrogen from oxygenoxygen and nitrogen can be separated. Air is the commercial source for many of the gases it contains. It is separated into its components by fractional distillation of liquefied air. Before air is liquefied, water vapor and carbon dioxide are removed, because these substances solidify when cooled and would clog the pipes of the air liquefaction plant. The dry, CO2-free air is compressed to about 200 atmospheres. This compression causes the air to become warm, and the heat is removed by passing the compressed air through radiators. The cooled, compressed air is then allowed to expand rapidly. The rapid expansion causes the air to become cold, so cold that some of it condenses. By the alternate compressing and expanding of air, most of it can be liquefied. Nitrogen is obtained from liquid air by distillation at -196°C. The gas obtained by this process is actually a mixture of nitrogen and about 1.25% noble (or "inert") gases, argon, neon, krypton, and xenon. Nitrogen is second only to sulfuric acid in the mass produced by the U.S. chemical industry. Its major uses are as an inert blanketing atmosphere in chemical processing (14%), electronics (15%), and, in liquid form, as a freezing agent (21%). Nitrogen is used to make agricultural fertilizers, such as ammonia and nitrates.

Will reducing carbon in steel increase malleability?

Yes. Carbon is added to iron in steel to make the steel stronger by making it more rigid. The more rigid a metal is, the less malleable it is.

What will happen if slip rings are removed from a DC motor?

It won't work. The slip rings work in conjunction with the brushes to connect a rotating part of the unit with the stationary part. We need to couple current into and out of the rotor, and without the slip rings for the brushes to ride on, we can't do that, and the motor won't work.

What is glass lined reactor composition?

A glass-lined reactor typically consists of a metal vessel, often made of carbon steel or stainless steel, that is coated with a layer of glass. This glass lining provides excellent resistance to corrosion and chemical attack, making it ideal for reactions involving aggressive substances. The glass is usually fused to the metal at high temperatures to create a durable, inert surface that can withstand high pressures and temperatures. The composition of the glass itself often includes silica, alumina, and other oxides to enhance its thermal and chemical stability.

What is the future of chemical engineering?

Yes, there is demand for chemical engg. if he is good at thermodynamics. reaction engineering and kinetics and process calculation... a chemical engg without these subject is nothing but a coolie...

What is the definition of a fraction?

A fraction in chemistry is a quantity collected from a sample or batch of a substance during fractional distillation i.e. where a mixture is separated into different parts called fractions. A fraction can be defined as a group of chemicals that have similar boiling points.

What products are in the chemical engineering sector?

Chemical engineers produce a huge variety of products and here are just a small sample of the list that a chemical engineer can produce:

1. Oil and gas products (gasoline, engine oil, organic solvents, etc.)

2. Food

3. Medicine

4. Plastics

5. Metals from ore refining and metallurgy

6. Inorganic solvents

7. ...and so much more!

The list goes on and on but chemical engineers are involved in many facets of society and the products we produce can be found just about anywhere.

What is density of PA66?

It is 1.07 gm/cc for amorphous type..

and 1.25 gm/cc for crystalline.

Why Chlorhexidine is used in tootpast and mouthwashes?

Basicaly chlorhexidine is an antibacterial used as a disinfectant and other applications. It is also used in disinfectants (disinfection of the skin and hands). Chlorhexidine is often used as an active ingredient in mouthwash designed to reduce dental plaque and oral bacteria.

Chlorhexidine lasts longer in the mouth than other mouthwashes, which is partly why it is to be preferred over other treatments for gums. So that is the reason for chlorhexidine to be used in tootpast and mouthwash.

Biography of dr Felix maramba?

Engr., Felix Maramba- his work included researcehes on indigenous sources of energy like biogas, biofuel

What is the hydration of cement?

The raw material used for manufacture of cement are limestone and clay. They are ground to form very fine powder and then converted to slurry. The slurry is baked at very high temperature to form granular mass called kilnker. The kilnker is ground and mixed with powdered gypsum to form cement.

Resin to purify water?

no resin, just reversed osmosisto get purest type of water,

wayer purification can be done in a water purification plant, which involves mechanical, biological and chemical cleaning of the water and bringing it up to international standards

Name of liquid used in capillary thermostats?

You want a liquid that is not compressible so polar compounds are preferres. For safety, the nontoxic and highly stable silicones are used. They have low vapor pressures and high boiling points so they remain liquid and are quite noncompressible.

This type of thermostat is filled with Alcohol, which responds well to changes in airconditioned space.

What is the chemical formula for JP-8?

JP-8 is a fuel specified by the United States Air Force in MIL-DTL-83133E that boil in the range of 186°C (10% boiling point) to 300°C (final boiling point) using the ASTM D2887 test method. The density of JP-8 ranges from 0.775-0.840 kg/L.
