California Professional Engineers Chemical Engineering

No gaseous products were formed by the chemical reaction. What would you conclude about the relative importance of liquid-phase diffusion and about the order of the kinetics of this reaction (California Professional Engineers Exam)... 

To give a reference point as to the level of tuidcrstanding of CRE required in the profession, a number of reaction engineering problems from the California Board of Registration for Civil and Professional Engineers—Chemical Engineering Examinations (PECEE) are included in the text. Typically, these problems should each require approximately 30 minutes to solve. 

Professional engineers working in the process industries in California face a challenge most licensed activities have to be carried out by civil engineers, regardless of the work that is being performed chemical engineers have comparatively little status (Parkinson, 2013). 

ELTON J. CAIRNS is Associate Director of Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley.
