Alright so I’ve been looking around for some documentation to explicitly state this but I haven’t seen anything super solid.

I believe that if a tank/pressure vessel/heat exchanger/filter is inside a building, it automatically gets evaluated for an external fire pressure relief scenario just because the building can go up in flames. Do we all agree with this?

Coming from a petrochemical complex background, everything is outside so we end up looking at equipment that contains flammables or equipment that is within 80ft of a flammable liquid and below 30ft.

Hello I am a PLTW student in Friscoisd and I need to interview a chemical engineer for a project. I was wondering if someone on here could help me out.The interview would only take like 30 min to an hour if even that.Thanks for your help.

For context, I’m a chemical engineering student currently taking organic chemistry, and my group recently performed a distillation of an alcoholic beverage (wine, ~15 mL sample). We used a small distilling flask, a vertical column, a thermometer at the head, and a condenser connected through an adaptor (the connector between the column and condenser, which I’ll call #2). Cooling water was run at a moderate rate (bottom-in, top-out), we added boiling chips, and greased all joints to prevent vapor leaks. At the start, we observed a short forerun of 2–3 drops, during which adaptor #2 became hot and the thermometer climbed to about ~70 °C. But after that, the adaptor suddenly cooled down drastically, the thermometer reading dropped, and no further ethanol distillate came over, even though the column itself stayed hot. This confused us because we expected that if the column was hot, vapors should have continued into the adaptor and condenser (with ethanol boiling around 78 °C). Could this cooling be due to premature condensation inside the column before the vapor reached the head, or does this suggest an issue with the adaptor itself? I’d appreciate any insights on why this happened and what adjustments (heat input, condenser water rate, etc.) we should try to maintain a steady ethanol distillation. (Attached is our set up)

I managed to get accepted to transfer from Civ eng to ChemE and MatE. I don't know which one to pick. I hated CivE because I felt forced to do it as my dad is also a civil engineer. I enjoy chemistry and math and physics (except mechanics). I also do want to create my own startup and the idea of inventing my own materials sound pretty cool to me.

Also I'm Canadian studying at the University of Toronto

So am from a private college in Karnataka(India). It's the top college of Karnataka. I am now in 3rd year. I am very interested in core itself. So how do I prepare for placements/internships? I have a 9+cgpa. Good with my fundamentals. What can I do extra? And which companies should I apply to? And if I should go for masters which college/uni should I apply for? Basically please give me a road map. Btw I have my sem break going on now after 2nd year So no classes that's why I want to utilise this time. Please help

Hello, I have about a month until my PE exam and wanted to do a monthly subscription to either PPI or SOPE on demand course. I just want to brush up on a few things(lecture videos) and also get more practice questions before the exam. PPI is $45 dollars more the SOPE. Is it worth paying more for PPI?

I am a Malaysian student studying foundation now, but I am planning to go for Bachelor of Chemical Engineering at Monash University.

Can any engineers or fresh grads give me some career/academic advice? What are valuable university clubs/extra curricular activities for chemical engineers to shine on CVs? Like for law degrees it will probably be debate etc. What about online training/courses? Anything to make up for my lack of experience? Actually useful skills (not the typical communication, teamwork etc)?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I’m currently a junior pursuing a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering. Do you have any recommendations for resources that can help me with understanding, memorization, and practice for my chemical engineering classes? Also, what are the most effective study techniques, and how can I earn an A in Introduction to Chemical Engineering? What are the hardest courses? And does pre studying help or not?

So I graduated from ChemE last year outside the US, and I've been looking for a job there, but nothing has worked out. I want to try and look for something in the US, but I don't know how to look for a job that sponsors a visa or something.

I've also considered the option of a master's or PhD in the US because I like research, but I feel so lost and tired of this job market. I need some advice or anything.

Yooo as a chemical engineer what r the fields u can work in
