List of basic chemical engineering topics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the application of physical science (in particular chemistry and physics) and mathematics to the process of converting raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms. As well as producing useful materials, chemical engineering is also concerned with pioneering valuable new materials and techniques; an important form of research and development. Chemical engineering largely involves the design and maintenance of chemical processes for large-scale manufacture.

The following list of topics is provided as an overview of and introduction to chemical engineering:
