UNDERSTANDING KIDNEY FUNCTION THROUGH CHEMICAL ENGINEERING RESEARCH... 

In the electronics industry, a large number of relatively small firms play a key role in generating new process concepts and equipment. These firms face important research problems in fundamental science and engineering that would benefit markedly from the insights of academic chemical engineering researchers. Academic researchers should seek out and forge links to these small firms that stand at the crucial step between laboratory research and production processes. Potential mechanisms for accomplishing this are described in Chapter 10. 

A wide variety of chemical engineering research frontiers involve advanced materials and belong in the mainstream of academic chemical engineering departments. The following list of frontiers ranges from the molecular level to the systems level. 

The earth itself is the reaction vessel and chemical plant. The complicated reaction chemistry and thermodynantics involve ntixers, reactors, heat exchangers, separators, and flnid flow pathways that are a scrambled design by nature. Only the sketchiest of flowsheets can be drawn. The chemical reactor has complex and ill-defined geometry and must be operated in intrinsically transient modes by remote control. Overcoming these difficulties is a trae frontier for chemical engineering research. 

It is possible that greater porosity in shale beds could be achieved by chemical comminution of the shale. For example, the treatment of western oil shales with acid solutions might result in comminution by inducing corrosive stress fracture of the carbonate rock. Chemical engineering research in this area, as well in the elucidation of oil-rock interactions, might provide insights for new strategies for oil shale production.
