CHEMICAL ENGINEERING PARADIGMS....!

Pre-Paradigm Period (before 1915)

Industrial Chemist + Mechanical Engineer = Chemical Engineer

 

 

The Second Paradigm in Chemical Engineering,1960

  

At this point, the unit operations (UO), the principles of Transport Phenomena (TP) and Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE), taken together, had become the unique knowledge base of chemical engineering

 

Third Paradigm of Chemical Engineering,RUNNING

 

In Third Paradigm of Chemical Engineering the focus of Chemical Engineer could be the "Complexity of the System" that depends on "structure and Scale"

 

The Structure and Scale influence the final product from Atomic size to Plant Size

This is not the end.
It is not even the beginning of the end.
But it is the end of the beginning.
