@chroniclerofthe70s And finally, engineering is expanding rather than becoming obsolete. Maybe certain areas of engineering have become obsolete (e.g. civil engineering in which the only changes being made are for example, in terms of the environmentally friendly structure of a building) but chemical engineering and biotechnology are increasingly expanding. An example: bio-reactors. To design a bio-reactor you have to have basic knowledge of designing a chemical reactor... To design a chemical..
@chroniclerofthe70s your question is misleading. There have been developed plastis that can conduct electricity and there are the traditional plastics which cannot. The reason some new plastics conduct electricity is that they are not "pure" plastics and because the additional materials present in the plastic can conduct electricity so can the plastic. Also it depends on the hold up of static charge. You might get shocked if you come in contact with the plastic if you have a high static charge.
@chroniclerofthe70s Well I studied Chemical Engineering with Biotechnology and I know how strongly connected both areas are. Of course man engineering = physics, chemistry, maths etc. But engineering is the application of all those sciences in practice. Who cares how to solve an abstract partial differential equation (in maths) ??? But when it comes to heat transfer you have to care a lot! Maths and Physics are tools, Engineering is the application. Without either we wouldnt exist.
@chroniclerofthe70s your question was whether plastic can conduct electricity or not. Not how and why it is conducts electricity. The result is that some plastics can and some plastics cannot conduct electricity.
@chroniclerofthe70s I was thinking of making reference to fluid mechanics but as you can see there is no space to write everything. I mentioned bioreactors why should I talk about the importance of fluid mechanics anyway? Well I did my first degree at UCL in UK we had two Chemistry courses in my whole degree. Then I did masters at imperial college in chem eng with biotech. No chemistry courses there either.
@chroniclerofthe70s ....To design a chemical reactor you need to know the chemical reaction. The chemical reaction is chemistry. But to design the reactor BASED on the reaction its pure engineering. And when I am referring to design I mean, dimensions (diameter, length) or other (efficiency, process time, "life"). If you dont know the reaction then your dont know how to design, if you know the reaction but you dont know how to design, then your reaction is saying absolutely nothing IN PRACTICE
@chroniclerofthe70s Nop. You are wrong chemical engineers design chemical reactors. Design = determining the dimensions of a design unit for producing a specific compound. Chemists design the reactors the outcome of THE reaction its self, the catalysts (As you correctly said) etc. I am not gonna discuss anything further as I am a chemical engineer and I have a relatively sufficient knowledge of both chemistry and engineering. But to conclude I didnt say that I disagree
@chroniclerofthe70s disagree with what u said about the basic sciences. For me the basic sciences is physics and mathematics and I love both of them. However, its stupid to almost say that engineering is only stealing from the basic sciences. Engineering is more applicable in real life than physics and chemistry. Thats why engineering are more in to the production plants while physics and chemists are more involved in R&D. And read my words, I never say "only" I said "mostly"
Another very bad idea attempting to preserve/prolong an unsustainable way of life, yard waste is no waste at all, all organic matter that is grown should return to the land to feed our depleted top soil, make a choice; bread or air conditioning.
Hi dh,, Point well stated, great use of vocabulary. I believe everyone has taken and taken, never put any thing back into the soil, its very expensive for one, but mostly obsessive/compulsive need for More, more, more, usually its More money,,I wont tell you my agricultural plans of operation, but I do rototill my corn silver, burner, industrial style back into the soil, I grow green manure as well, rototill into soil in spring, Moisture retention is incredible, my yields phenomenal, my soil is alive and thriving, This I have to say,,The quantity of biomass/ compost I put into the soil is unsustainable, I have to windrow, bale, harvest to market some of the "trash" silver, or burner as its referred, I cant get more compost into the soil,, my soils saturated with compost,, its a cash crop if you can sell it
@chroniclerofthe70s and by the way is not stealing. If you want to talk about stealing talk about Chemistry. By far the fakest "Science" ever. Everything from Chemistry is taken from Physics. In school I was learning about the atom its structure and the interactions between protons and electrons etc. and when I made the question to my teacher saying "Sir, isnt that Physics" and he replied: "I am a Physicist" lol

a pretty smart lecture with Cellulosic Biofuels
It is a nice presentation with thought provoking points, congratulations
Loved learning about biofuels from this video, thank you.

This is my favourite area of chemical engineering! I love green technology and alternative methods of energy renewal :P
I have a research on this topic, and I wonder if you can help me find sources to start my research with, because I have to submit it next Thursday
I used it for my science project, it's a really useful video! :) I learned a lot from it.

@godfather755 ***that question I made to the Physicist was in a chemistry class.
However, corn to ethanol is heavily subsidised and due to the massive energy deficit environmentally and economically not feasible.
@chroniclerofthe70s your question was whether plastic can conduct electricity or not. Not how and why it is conducts electricity. The result is that some plastics can and some plastics cannot conduct electricity.
inspring talk and definately great literature review
interesting, but i'm not too sure how feasible. i don't think this can be mass produced but, every bit will help.

@chroniclerofthe70s So you believe that the world would be the same as it is now without engineering?
