4th Engineering Foundation Conference on "Reaction Engineering for New Materials and Processes."

反应工程处理固体表面分子相互作用的量化，传递现象，反应系统的动力学和控制以及上述所有相互作用。尺寸范围从10-10米到102米。反应工程原理的应用在化学、生物化学、石油、电化学和其他过程的实验、放大和设计中是必不可少的。反应工程是一门相互作用的学科，它最初的应用局限于石油和化学工业，但目前这些原理的应用正扩展到生物技术、电子、特殊化学工业的重点是新材料。化学反应工程的三次工程基础会议已经在过去举行，这些会议集中讨论了该领域当今的各种研究问题。本基金为第四届工程基金会会议提供部分支持，该会议的主题是通过在主题和技术上共同的主题上跨越化学家和化学工程师这两个学科之间的既定界限，开辟化学家和化学工程师之间的途径。会议将分为四天，涵盖催化、动力学、建模和反应器，其整体形式将类似于“戈登研究会议”的风格，有充足的时间进行长时间的讨论

Reaction engineering deals with the quantification of molecular interactions at solid surfaces, transport phenomena, dynamics and control of reaction systems and the interplay of all of the above. The size scale ranges from 10-10 to 102 meters. The application of reaction engineering principles is essential in experimentation, scale-up, and design for chemical, biochemical, petroleum, electrochemical and other processes. Reaction engineering is an interactive discipline whose initial applications were confined to the petroleum and chemical industries, but current utilization of these principles is spreading to the biotechnology, electronics, and specialty chemical industries where the emphasis is upon new meterials. Three Engineering Foundation Conferences in Chemical Reaction Engineering have been held in the past that have focussed on the various research issues of the day in this area. This grant is partial support for the fourth Engineering Foundation Conference whose main theme is to open pathways between chemists and chemical engineers by cross-cutting the established boundaries between these two disciplines with topically and technically common themes. The meeting will be divided into four days that cover catalysis, kinetics, modeling, and reactors and its overall format will be similar to the "Gordon Research Conference" style with ample time for lengthy discussions.***
