Seminar - “An Integrated Experimental and Theoretical Approach to Investigate Biomass Fast Pyrolysis”, by Dr. KHURSHEED AHMAD BADRUDDIN ANSARI, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, Nanyang Technological University,

ABSTRACT:

Part A: Investigation of the Interplay of Reaction and Transport within Biomass Particle during Fast Pyrolysis

Thursday, November 30, 2017 3:30 pm - 3:30 pm EST (GMT -05:00)

Seminar - “Optimization-Based Control of Nonlinear Processes: Fundamental Advances Enabling Economically-Optimal and Safe Process Operation”, Helen Elaine Durand, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Chemical Eng. and Materials Science, Wayne State University

ABSTRACT:  While most undergraduate process control courses focus on the dynamics and control of chemical processes that can be described by linear transfer function models, advances in computing over the last several decades have enabled the more complex nature (i.e., nonlinearities, interactions between variables, constraints) of the underlying process physico-chemical phenomena to be taken into account in the models used for controller design.  A major trend in industry over the last 40 years has been employing constrained mathematical optimization techniques to compute

Seminar - “In Situ Nano-Fibrillated Polymer Blends with Superior Properties and Foaming-Ability”, Professor Chul B. Park, Dept. of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University of Toronto

ABSTRACT: I will present a nano-fibril composites technology that has been invented at the University of Toronto. This technology enhances the mechanical properties and the foaming ability of various resins.

Thursday, December 7, 2017 3:30 pm - 3:30 pm EST (GMT -05:00)

Seminar - “Tips on How to Write and Submit a Successful Paper” by João B P Soares, Editor-in-Chief, Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering, University of Alberta

ABSTRACT:  In this presentation, you will learn how to integrate manuscript preparation into your daily routine, how to efficiently prepare a clear and well-organized manuscript, how the review process works, how to expedite your manuscript’s review and acceptance, and about future trends and developments in scientific publishing. This presentation is intended for early-career chemical engineering professionals: graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, new faculty members and new industrial researchers.

Friday, December 8, 2017 2:00 pm - 2:00 pm EST (GMT -05:00)

Seminar - “Hydrogen and the Future of the Energy System… and Multi-Scale Modelling Tools for Fuel Cell Development”, J.G. Pharoah, Queen’s-RMC Fuel Cell Research Lab, Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario

ABSTRACT:  Fuel cells inherently involve phenomena occurring over a wide range of length scales, from the molecular scale on electro-catalyst surfaces through various scales of porous media including catalyst layers, micro-porous layer porous transport layers, to gas supply channels within a cell and finally to the manifolds at the stack scale. In total, length scales spanning about 10 orders of magnitude are of interest to the fuel cell developer.
