I heard some project manages can have a hard time working with engineers on project when they aren’t versed in civil, mechanical etc

How do you solve issues between groups without having the technical knowledge ?

Hi everyone
I have a feed mixture of gases, hydrocarbons, and water that goes to a 3 phase separator. In all 3 outlets there are water in them. Is there a way to remove all water from vapour and light liquid streams and keep it in the heavy liquid stream only? I tried changing the temperature and pressure of the inlet stream and changing the fluid package but nothing worked, there's always some water in the vapour and light liquid

Da poco ho concluso la laurea magistrale in ingegneria chimica di processo , cosa mi rimane ? Beh una testa piena di nozioni che mano a mano stanno sbiadendo , mi domando ora … è la normalità o devo rimettermi sui libri prima di affrontare il mondo del lavoro?

Hey everyone,

I’m wondering if there’s anyone out there experiencing what I am (or similar). For context: I’ve had 3 internships during my undergrad. One was a 2 year (more like co-op) experience at an Oil&Gas exploration company & then I’ve had two traditional summer internships for some of the biggest names in the Nuclear industry.

At all of my internships, I’ve performed well, received great feedback, & have built lots of (in my opinion, highly transferable) skills. My GPA remains high (3.85) & all of these opportunities came relatively easy. It wasn’t like I was mass-applying or mass-networking: I sent in 1-2 applications per hiring cycle & was blessed to have the offer come my way upon interviewing well.

Maybe I’ve been spoiled, but I didn’t imagine how difficult landing my first job has been. Since September, I’ve probably applied to around 40 listings that my résumé is well suited for, but I’ve only gotten 2 screening interviews & nothing past that. I’ve also done a few informational interviews with the person voluntarily passing my credentials on to the hiring team internally.

I understand that things are rough right now for most, but I’m wondering if there’s anyone else out there who has had success in the internship realm, but is facing a brick wall on the full-time job hunt.

Edit: I should clarify that I am still in my senior year. Also, my prior internships all brought on tons of interns but then had no “bandwidth” to bring any of them on full-time.

for advice learn 3d modeling , hey guys , im a chemical engineer , i spent the last week creating a 3D model for a gyratory Roks crusher for mining industry SO How it works:

ore up to 1.1 m is dumped in at the top. Under the mantle, an eccentric turns at 137 rpm, so the mantle gyrates and the gap opens and closes more than twice a second. Every time it closes, the rock is squeezed against the manganese concaves and breaks, until it falls out at about 17 cm.

For modeling and rendering i used Blender 5.1 LTS

Hey! I graduated with a degree in Chemical Engineering in 2018 and obtained my EIT certification in 2024. I have less than a year of experience working as a chemical engineer. I’m currently serving in the Army as a biomedical equipment technician, and I don’t have much time left on my contract. I was wondering if there are any courses, certifications, or training opportunities I could pursue while I’m still serving in the Army to improve my chances of getting a job as a chemical engineer once I transition out of the military.

So I need super fast help, please!

I want to procure a chinese ozone generator but crucial data is missing but the workers there are willing to test it for me. Most important is testing, how much pressure loss occurs through their oxygen-fed ozone generator. I tried to give them instructions but I am a psychologist.

I have told them to take an oxygen source and dial in 0.6 bar (because thats the input pressure we want to examine), lead it through a flow meter, into the generator, out of the output, to which a T piece is connected, with a second pressure gauge connected to the side branch and the other one has the oxygen/ozone mix freely blowing into the room.

Now they reported that they always measure 0 bar at the output no matter what. I have given them wrong instructions apparently. The reason for the failure to read seems to be that the pressure escapes into the room before it can be measured.

Please provide the correct instructions for them to measure the pressure loss/resistance of their device - it should be measured using 5 and 10 liters/min.

Are there any additional measurements that are needed or helpful?

Thank you

PS: I didnt want to keep them waiting so I told them to add a needle valve/ bleed valve and to open it slightly and then readjust the pressure/flow. I have attached this drawing. Is that correct?

So I'm a premed but I am thinking of pivoting into something pharma related. I wanted to take Advanced Biochem 1 but the timing conflicts with Thermo 2. So my options are to either take Intro Biochem this semester or wait for the fall and take the start the advanced sequence. The difference is that intro goes less in-depth but is one semester and focuses highly on MCAT material. Advanced goes more in depth, is more challenging, is 2 semesters, and you are expected to do a ton of projects for it. If I was exclusively focused on premed Id do Intro without a 2nd thought since I'd be taking my MCAT around early 2028 but I'm thinking of pivoting to either an industry role right out of college or a PhD. So I was wondering if the rigor of my biochemistry class matters or if I'd be fine to just take Intro this next semester. (I'm a sophomore btw)

Hi, I try to simulate distillation column that inlet stream goes into to heat exchanger which it heated with the top products of the column. I don't know hownto simulate it. Like which one i have to simulate first? Column or heat exchanger? Can you help me? Pls 🥲

Hi, i am an environmental engineering student, i have an backround in software too (tho i dont have certificates to prove). I want to focus on more "chemical" side of the engineering program after i graduate. What road shoul i take, what would be better? What advise would you give me

So I recently landed an internship with a really big oil and gas company for summer 2027. This company specializes mostly in the midstream transportation and processing of oil and gas.

Honestly, I was completely shocked by the offer letter. $45 per hour, FOR AN INTERNSHIP. 6k grossed up as a living stipend just for the summer. and then just on top of that, all the people I’ve talked to at the job genuinely seem like they love the company and their work. And the location I’d be working isn’t in the middle of no where either.

Anyway, enough about how lucky and blessed I am. Cuz I know how fortunate I am.

I really want to convert this internship to a full time opportunity with this company. Their internship program is intended to be a pipeline to full time employment, but especially for this company, that seems to be even more so true.

I don’t know that much about the oil and gas industry, and I want to make it my mission between now and may 2027 to learn as much as I possibly can to be as prepared as possible, and give myself the best chance of full time employment afterwards.

Anyone out there who works in a similar sector who can recommend any resources for me to learn from? Any skills you might recommend I learn in the next 7 months until my internship? I have access to a lot of engineering design softwares at my school, but not hisys, or pipeview.

Hi, so I am first year Chemical Engineering and Chemistry Student, and for our exams we use "Organic Chemistry" 9th global edition by Bruice, and does anybody perchance have this book, or know where to get it without buying physical version?

Hi everyone, I'm a final-year Chemical Engineering student in Nepal, graduating December 2026. I have a granted design patent, a Q1 co-authored paper, a conference-series paper and two conference posters. My CV is attached with personal details removed.

My undergrad research was on reactor design and CFD, including plasma, but I don't want to study plasma or reactor-focused topics in grad school. I want to work on plant design, process simulation and techno-enviro-economic assessment of sustainable industrial systems, and I'm looking for funded MS/PhD positions in those areas.

I'd really appreciate advice on:

Which types of programs or labs fit this direction (process systems engineering, sustainable process design, energy systems, and so on)?

Which specific programs or labs would you recommend for someone with my profile?

How do I find the admissions or selection committee for a program, and who should I email first (the committee, the graduate coordinator, or individual professors)?

What should a first email to a professor include so it gets a reply?

If you know of open positions or have been through this process yourself, please comment or DM me. Thank you!

Hello everyone, I am an undergraduate student in Chemical Engineering. In two days, I have a paper and assignment submission deadline for Industrial Stoichiometry. Could anyone provide me with any guidance from the 9th edition of "Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering"? My professor assigned me all the problems from sections 5.2 to 5.4, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Do I am cooked or can I save myself 😦.

My boyfriend is graduating in December and I am trying to figure out something unique to gift him.

He already has the classic cheme gifts (I ❤️ strippers shirt, Perry’s handbook, 5 billion calculators, etc.)

He talks about distillation columns a lot, so I thought maybe a model of one? But I’m having a hard time finding one and knowing what I’m looking at lol. I know he’ll be working in polymers. Is there anything I could get him that’s related to that?

I am very conflicted so i would appreciate any advice you may have for me! thank you

Hi, I’m writing a thriller set in a hotel where the protagonist creates clever, unconventional booby traps to outsmart the villain and his men.

I’m looking for creative ideas that use things commonly found in a hotel, such as cleaning supplies, kitchen equipment, plumbing, electrical systems, or other everyday objects.

For example, imagine a large-scale version of the Elephant’s Toothpaste experiment that rapidly fills an entire corridor with foam. I’m also interested in visually spectacular traps involving environmental hazards, electrical failures, or unexpected chain reactions.

The traps should feel scientifically plausible, be inventive rather than generic, and have potentially serious consequences for the antagonists. I want ideas that are cinematic, surprising, and make the audience think, “I never would have thought of using that this way.”

Hello, I’m in the community college now. Next sem, I will be at the university. But next summer I’m planning to visit my country. Does that mean I missed a big internship opportunity?

What is difference between these two departments and which is better
