Chemical Engineering via Art

The major aim of this article is to demonstrate via art different aspects of Chemical Engineering. This is a new approach developed by the author to describe scientific and engineering subjects via art, thus making them more understandable and easy to percept. The author has reached this conclusion after teaching several times a course on “The Interaction Between Art and Science” as well as wri...
