Mathematics in Chemical Engineering

Why and how can mathematics improve the learning in chemistry and chemical engineering?

Mathematics that is taught at all engineering universities in Sweden and other countries has not been changed for a very long time. With the shift toward greater use of mathematical numerical tools in many engineering subjects, the content and manner of teaching in mathematics are undergoing profound changes. Since the mathematics often is taught early in a curriculum, it is of interest to inve...

Omega and PIv Polynomial in Dyck Graph-like Z(8)-Unit Networks

Design of crystal-like lattices can be achieved by using some net operations. Hypothetical networks, thus obtained, can be characterized in their topology by various counting polynomials and topological indices derived from them. The networks herein presented are related to the Dyck graph and described in terms of Omega polynomial and PIv polynomials.

Wave Propagation in Generalized Thermodiffusion Elastic Medium with Impedence Boundary Condition

In the present investigation, we study the reflection of plane waves, that is, Longitudinal displacement wave(P-Wave), Thermal wave(T-Wave) and Mass Diffusive wave(MD-Wave) in thermodiffusion elastic-half medium which is subjected to impedence boundary condition in context of one relaxatioon time theory given by Lord and Shulman theory (L-S) and the Coupled theory (C-T) of thermoelasticity. The...

Effect of Chemical Reaction on Bioconvective Flow in Oxytactic Microorganisms Suspended Porous Cavity

In this paper, the bioconvective flow in a porous square cavity containing oxytactic microorganism in the presence of chemical reaction is investigated. The bioconvection flow and heat transfer in porous media are formulated based on the Darcy model of Boussinesq approximation. The governing partial differential equations are solved using the Galerkin finite element method. The computational nu...

JOURNAL REVIEW Mathematics in Chemical Engineering: A 50 Year Introspection

A review is made of the role of mathematics in the field of chemical engineering in the latter half of the twentieth century. The beginning of this era was marked by the concerted effort of a few to raise the mathematical consciousness of the profession to think fundamentally about processes. We have accomplished this review by providing a rough structure of the areas of mathematics, deliberati...
