Process systems engineers reagents

Process systems engineers play an active role in ensuring that these decisions are technically sound and integrate environmental sustainability aspects. Some examples of PSE tools used for key materials such as solvents, reagents, and formulation materials are described next. 

For certain types of recM tion it is possible to obtain a direct conversion of chemical energy into electricity and thereby into mechanical work. Processes of heat transfer are thereby avoided and the conversion factor, I be heat engine does not come into the picture. This can be achieved whenever the reaction has an ionic mechanism and can be set up as a galvanic cell. The electrodes act in much the same manner as the semi-permeable membranes of the equilibrium box. That is to say, the reagents can be added to the system, and the recK tion products withdrawn, under reversible conditions. The two great prcu tical advantages of this method of operation are as follows ...
