Spartan Showcase: Luke Saad
Chemical engineering is all around us. It’s physical: we can see it, touch it and smell it. Take, for example, using car air fresheners or smelling your mother’s cooking.  Air fresheners take advantage of transport principles by using the mass transfer coefficient kin the air and agitating it,…
