RESEARCH
PROJECTS
Center members are involved in theoretical, computational, and experimental research spanning several areas of great importance to the chemical process industry. These areas include:
- thermophysical properties for process design;
- process control and reactor design; and
- modeling and simulation of complex fluids like polymer and surfactant solutions.
