The December issue of CEP features a cover story on quantum computing. These computers will be a path to understanding molecular behavior dynamically at the chemical and biochemical scale, opening the gate to entirely new problem sets that would otherwise be unreachable by any classical computer.
This month’s free article:
The Tide that Is Entering: Quantum Computing and Impossible Problems in Chemical Engineering
Utilizing the science-fiction-like properties of quantum mechanics, quantum computing can solve highly complex problems that are unsolvable by traditional computers. Read this open access article now!
Contract Disputes: Engineering Pitfalls Buried Within Contract Language
Identifying and avoiding common mistakes in engineering contractual language can help both project sponsors and contractors avoid costly, contentious contract disputes and litigation.
Optimizing Ethylene Production by Implementing a Catalyst-Based Coating
Coking in ethylene plants is one of the greatest barriers to process optimization and increased product yield. A catalyst-based furnace tube coating could help surpass this historic limitation.
Assessing Reactive Hazards: What’s the Right Tool for Me?
Various laboratory experimental techniques are recommended for developing a safe chemical process, many of which evaluate heat and pressure generation during runaway reactions through the use of calorimetry.
