ABSTRACT This proposal requests travel funding for the 13th Properties and Phase Equilibria for Product and Process Design (PPEPPD) international conference to be held in May 26-30 2013, in Iguazu Falls, Argentina. The topics of the Conference include Fundamentals of Thermodynamics and Phase Equilibria, Transport Properties, Surfaces and Interfaces, Quantum Calculations and Molecular Simulations. Processing and Applications will focus on agrochemicals and biomass, new oil and gas processing challenges, renewable energy, product and process engineering, novel reaction and separation technology, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, biological systems, food processing, materials, nanoscience and nanotechnology, and environment, sustainability and risk management.The funds will support young research workers (approximately 12) who would otherwise not be able to attend, as well as presenters of invited lectures and members of the international organizing committee (5 individuals). No request is made for local expenses, meeting organization costs, or for non-US participants. These conferences have provided excellent forums for fruitful discussions on curriculum issues among faculty of the participating countries. In addition to the personal contacts that the U.S. participants will make with people from the other countries, it will be beneficial to U.S. interests to foster exchanges of research and teaching ideas and of personnel, and establish research collaborations between chemical engineers from the U.S. and those from the emerging centers of expertise around the world. American participation is essential for making contributions to the general knowledge base, for becoming aware of the progress made by other parts of the globe, and for fostering international collaborations. Significant efforts will be made to include both young and underrepresented faculty in the group of U.S. participants. The conferences especially encourage senior members of the profession to interact with younger scientists and graduate students.

本提案要求为将于2013年5月26日至30日在阿根廷伊瓜苏福尔斯举行的第13届产品和工艺设计性能与相平衡（PPEPPD）国际会议提供差旅费。 会议的主题包括热力学和相平衡的基础知识，传输特性，表面和界面，量子计算和分子模拟。加工和应用将侧重于农用化学品和生物质，新的石油和天然气加工挑战，可再生能源，产品和工艺工程，新型反应和分离技术，制药和化妆品，生物系统，食品加工，材料，纳米科学和纳米技术，以及环境，可持续性和风险管理。这些资金将支持年轻的研究人员（约12人），以及应邀演讲的主讲人和国际组织委员会成员（5人）。不要求支付当地费用、会议组织费用或非美国与会者的费用。这些会议提供了极好的论坛，使参加国的教师能够就课程问题进行富有成果的讨论。除了美国参与者将与其他国家的人进行个人接触外，促进研究和教学思想以及人员的交流，并在美国化学工程师和来自世界各地新兴专业中心的化学工程师之间建立研究合作，将有利于美国的利益。美国的参与对于为一般知识基础作出贡献、了解地球仪其他地区取得的进展以及促进国际合作至关重要。将作出重大努力，包括年轻和代表性不足的教师在美国组参与者。这些会议特别鼓励该专业的资深成员与年轻科学家和研究生互动。
