The Times are Changing

"For every complicated problem, there is an answer that is
short, simple and wrong"
H.L. Mencken

The majority of the team members are out of town...That doesn't stop Senior Design though...
Continuing on we're trying to size our Reactor

There are two ways to do this:
1. The Chemist’s Approach: Build larger sizes of
laboratory equipment and experimentally measure all
the process variables.
2. The Engineer’s Approach: Develop process models for
each unit and solve these equations to estimate the
mass and energy flow rates. Use these rates to
determine size..

A process model is a set of equations, including the
necessary input data to solve the equations, that allow us to
predict the behavior of a chemical process system.

The Engineer's approach seems better nothing against my Chemist folks...but after all we are Chemical Engineers.
