Fluid mixing is an important part of several industrial processes and chemical reactions. However, the process often relies on trial-and-error-based experiments instead of mathematical optimization.

Engineers at Cornell University have developed perforated, flexible panels modeled on fish gills that significantly improve heat transfer and chemical mixing in fluid environments. The work, led by ...

Process Engineering encompasses the analysis, modeling, simulation, optimization, design, control and operation of process systems, from micro-sized systems to huge industrial facilities. Many ...

What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

When two fluids don't mix well, they sometimes form strange patterns called "viscous fingering," or Saffman-Taylor instability. Studying these patterns can help scientists understand how to design ...

GEA Process Engineering Inc. is a full-service engineering company offering systems and solutions for liquid and powder processing. Established in 1974, the company is known for innovative processing ...
