DESCRIPTION
.

ChERD aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers
in chemical engineering.
Papers showing how research results can be used in chemical engineering design, and accounts
of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles,
highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly welcome.
Contributions that deal with new developments in plant or processes and that can be given quantitative
expression are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries
of traditional chemical engineering.
The journal publishes regular special issues focusing on specific topics, and issues dedicated to
selected papers from major conferences.
Core topic areas:
Distillation and absorption

Hydrodynamics, heat and mass transfer in separation equipment

Physical properties and thermodynamic models/methods
Process design, operation and intensification
Process equipment characterisation
Process modelling, simulation and optimisation

Fluid flow
All aspects of fluid flow in chemical and/or process vessels
Heat and mass transfer

Mechanisms of heat and mass transfer

Multicomponent mass transfer
Simulation of heat and mass transfer processes
Simultaneous heat and mass transfer

Materials processing and product development
