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.

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.

What is the waste gas in the Blast Furnace used for?

It is mostly carbon monoxide and nitrogen gases which has some heating value. So it is typically recovered and mixed with natural gas, &/or coke oven gas and used in boilers for steam or other steel heating furnaces for further processing of steel.

Which element can cut glass?

water can cut through glass but only when at a very high speed and a thin stream

How is math used in engineering?

Many of the calculations done by a working ChE involve Thermodynamics, Physical Chemistry and Kinetics and Catalysis. It's not just adding and subtracting by any means. A firm background in Math is required.

I suggest that you find a copy of Perry's Chemical Engineering Handbook in the library, and thumb through it. You will get an feel for some of the work done.

What is the advantage of multiple effect evaporators over single effect evaporator?

energy is economised since the evaporator at alower pressure heats the following effect

How does temperature affect ink?

Most ink is a simple suspension of pigments or dyes in water, though much more complex variations exist.

Most modern forms of ink are not significantly affected by moderate changes in temperature, but there are a few effects possible to varying degrees depending on the particular ink.

Like all fluids, a decrease in temperature increases viscosity, affecting the flow of ink.

An extreme decrease in temperature will, of course, freeze the ink.

Extremely high temperature will, of course, vaporize ink.

Low, or freezing temperatures as well as high temperatures can result in altering properties of the suspended particulates causing them to precipitate out and making the remaining dissolved or suspended particles less effective as coloring agents.

It is unlikely that increases in temperature, below boiling, will induce chemical changes beyond those affecting solubility mentioned above, but this may be a rare event in some specialized formulations.

There are many dyes that are affected by age, light, oxygen and temperature and are therefore inappropriate for use as ink, but that does not mean that such deficiencies are always properly avoided by all manufacturers.

Why is thermosetting plastics used for making chairs?

Because they can be colored, molded, cured and have reasonably good mechanical properties.
