Graduate Seminar Announcement - Prof Shinji Hasebe

Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering Graduate seminar series Prof. Shinji Hasebe Department of Chemical Engineering Kyoto University, Japan "Process Systems Engineering for Realizing Micro Chemical Plants" November 12, 2013 9:00-10:15 a.m. FRNY G140 Reception at 8:30 a.m. in Henson Atrium Abstract: The production of high value-added products requires the precise control of temperature, flow pattern and residence time. It is difficult for conventional plants to satisfy these requirements. Many researchers have discussed the availability of the micro-systems for production. However, to realize the micro chemical plants, the contribution of PSE is essential. In this lecture, the design and control problems of micro chemical plants are discussed from the viewpoint of process systems engineering. One of the dominant characteristics of the design problem of micro devices is that the shape of the device should be included in the design variables in addition to the volume of the device. Three types of systematic shape design methods will be explained using case studies. Because of the difference of the characteristic size, micro chemical plants require different instrumentation and control systems from conventional chemical plants. Some control systems, which are suitable for the micro chemical plants are demonstrated. In real micro chemical plants, the blockage of the channels is the crucial problem for long stable operation. In the presentation, the latest blockage detection system for parallelized micro process is explained. Bio: Professor Hasebe received his B.E., M.E. and Ph.D. degrees in chemical engineering from Kyoto University in 1976, 1978 and 1984. He became an assistant professor of the Department of Chemical Engineering at Kyoto University in 1981. After the experience of lecturer and associate professor, he is a full professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering since 2003. He is Vice Chairman of the Committee for International Academic Exchange of the Graduate School of Engineering at Kyoto University since April 2010, and organized the NEDO national project named "Development of Microspace and Nanospace Reaction Environment Technology for Functional Materials" as project leader. His research areas are design and operation of micro chemical plants, supply chain management, synthesis of environmentally benign processes and the synthesis of separation processes.

Please delete any email with "Your Incident ID is: 130329-018715" or similar title you may have received. The message implies someone else may have tried to login to your account and in all the emails I have seen it says the login was from Nicaragua. This is a phishing email that first was seen last week and today seems to be hitting a lot of accounts. DO NOT click the link in the email. DO NOT provide your login and password via that link. If you have done so you should change your password again immediately via your normal method.

ATTN NEW STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND STAFF: Must re-take your photos on 11/14/13
by Field, Catherine A 11 Nov '13

11 Nov '13

Dear New Students, Faculty, and Staff: The headshots that the photographer took a month ago did not turn out properly, and we must re-take our photos. I really apologize for this inconvenience. The photographer will be here again to take your headshots on Thursday, November 14th, from 8:45-10:30 in FRNY 1142. All new faculty and staff are encouraged to attend (and then we will be able to put your picture up in the lobby with the other faculty and staff photos). First-year graduate students are required to attend. If you'd like your photograph taken but cannot attend this session, I will put you in touch with the photographer, and you may arrange to meet him on your own. He is extremely busy and very hard to reach, and I recommend coming to the scheduled session on Thursday, if at all possible. Thank you. Best, Katie Catherine Field, Ph.D. Graduate Program Administrator/Counselor School of Chemical Engineering Forney Hall of Chemical Engineering, Room 1051 480 Stadium Mall Drive West Lafayette, IN 47907-2050 Telephone: 765-494-4057 Fax: 765-494-0805 www.engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/<http://www.engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/>

The current account number (1714-0802-4) will be disabled Nov. 16, 2013. After Saturday, November 16, 2013, FedEx will no longer accept airway bills with the old pre-printed account numbers on them. Packages being shipped with the old account number will NOT be shipped. If you have any pre-printed airway bills with 1714-0802-4 on them, please recycle or destroy them immediately. If you are using FedEx online (set up by MMAD) you should not have to do anything differently, Carmen Buck will make the changes from here. If you know of faculty or staff that are out of the office and will be using FedEx while away, please be sure they know of this change. Any questions should be directed to Stacey Summers at 494-7095 or sdsummers(a)purdue.edu<mailto:sdsummers@purdue.edu> To order preprinted airway bills with the new account number, please contact Patty Turner at 494-7103 or paturner(a)purdue.edu <mailto:paturner@purdue.edu> We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.

DL2 Award - FRNY Stacked Labs
by Varma, Arvind 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

Dear Colleagues, In fall 2012, the University announced the Discovery and Learning Laboratory Renovation Program (DL2) for 2013, where resources from the Offices of the Treasurer and Provost were made available to address high-priority research and teaching laboratory repair and rehabilitation (R&R) needs. We submitted a proposal in response to this solicitation, for $6.02 million, to renovate the entire Stacked Labs area - the only remaining renovation in Forney Hall. Cristina Farmus helped me to prepare the proposal. University-wide, twenty proposals were submitted and 8 were funded. I am delighted to inform that our proposal has been approved by the DL2 committee for funding. This approval is subject to Capital Projects Council (CPC) approval, and I expect that it will be forthcoming in due course. This allocation will provide the needed quality space for our School to address the space needs for our strategic growth plans. Our proposal had the strong support of the CoE, specifically Leah Jamieson and Robert Frosch, to whom I express our deep gratitude and thanks. With best wishes, Arvind Arvind Varma R.

3rd Annual Late Notice for FFA fruit sales for my son.
by Harrington, Michael P 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Good afternoon, My son Sean's FFA club is having its annual fruit sale again (this is his 3rd year). I was asked by him to see if anyone in ChE was interested in purchasing fruit through him to be delivered in the beginning of December (I'll bring the fruit to FRNY as in the past). Orders must be placed by tomorrow so if you are interested I'd need to know today / tonight (Sorry for the short notice yet again, I was just asked myself). The fruit comes in half or whole boxes and there are about 28 pieces in each full box. Prices are as follows (Prices are the same as last year although this year the grapefruit is listed as "Red" as opposed to "Pink"): Item - full box - half box Navel oranges $24 - $16 Juice oranges $22 - $15 Tangelos $24 - $16 Red grapefruit $24 - $16 Red Delicious $35 - $25 Gold Delicious $35 - $25 Royal Galas $38 - $28 Pears $36 - $26 If you are interested you can just let me know by email today or tonight and I will have the order placed for you. We can take care of payment when it is delivered. Thanks! Mike ******************** Mike Harrington Computer Facilities Manager Chemical Engineering Purdue University 765-494-6428 mph(a)purdue.edu
