Chemical Engineering Engineering

• Converts raw material into a useful form

• Work on more fields than just chemicals

• develop solutions to environmental problems, such as pollution control and remediation

Thermodynamics

• studies radiation, heat, work, and effects on material bodies

• linked to the study of energy transfers in chemical processes

Thermodynamics Project

• Lee Groeneweg created AC system• Had to watch for ecological effects, fuel used,

and other factors

Textile Manufacturing

• Textile manufacturing is based on making many types of fibers into yarn or string then fabric then into textiles.

• The textiles are changed into clothing or into other textile products.

• Cotton is the most important natural fiber, so it is treated in depth

• Cotton is considered the world’s most important natural fiber. In 2007 the world produced 25 million tons of cotton.

TM Project

• A project in textile manufacturing is the creation of the cotton gin, by Eli Whitney.

• The cotton gin removes unwanted “trash” from the cotton fiber.
