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

反应工程学研究固体表面分子相互作用的量化、传输现象、反应体系的动力学和控制以及上述各方面的相互作用。尺寸范围从10-10米到102米不等。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。反应工程是一门交互学科，最初的应用仅限于石油和化工行业，但目前这些原理的应用正在扩展到生物技术、电子和特种化工行业，这些行业的重点是新材料。化学反应工程的三次工程基础会议过去都集中在这一领域的各种研究问题上。这笔赠款是对第四届工程基础会议的部分支持，该会议的主要主题是通过以专题和技术上的共同主题贯穿这两个学科之间的既定边界，在化学家和化学工程师之间开辟道路。会议将分为四天，涵盖催化、动力学、模拟和反应堆，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.***
