Spring 2005 courses:

Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics - CE 304 - This is a required course generally taken by second-semester sophomores majoring in chemical engineering. It covers the following topics:

Application of equilibrium thermodynamics to chemical engineering problems. Calculation of thermodynamic properties of ideal and real gases and of fluid mixtures. Phase equilibria with emphasis on vapor-liquid equilibrium. Chemical reaction equilibria in gases, liquids, heterogeneous systems.

Fall 2006 course:

Applied Chemical Kinetics - CE 561- This is a required course in chemical kinetics and reaction design that is taken by all first-year graduate students.  Topics covered range from the description of elementary reactions in terms of motion on a potential energy surface to practical methods of modeling fixed bed catalytic reactors.  The course web page is at http://www.eng.buffalo.edu/Courses/ce561

Spring 2007 course:

Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics - CE 304 - see above.

Introduction to Aerosol Science and Technology - CE 456/556 - This is an elective course at the senior undergraduate or graduate level that provides an introduction to the science and technology of aerosols:  dilute suspensions of microscopic liquid or solid particles in air or another gas.  This includes the transport of individual particles and particle ensembles, particle size distributions and the statistics thereof, physical and chemical properties of aerosols, nucleation and growth of aerosol particles, and technologies for creating and characterizing aerosols.  The course web page has been placed within the UBLearns course management environment.  To access publicly available content, go to https://ublearns.buffalo.edu, click on the 'course catalog' button, then search for 'ce456'.

Spring 2004 courses:

Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics - CE 304 - see above.

Chemically Reacting Flows - CE 512 - This is a graduate elective course on the mathematical modeling of chemically reacting flows, with a focus on gas-phase processes such as combustion, chemical vapor deposition, and aerosol (nanoparticle) synthesis.  CE 561 (see above) is a prerequisite.
