We will be happy to spend May and June at our Thai home in Dankwian. For all our friends, here are some recent impressions:
Master Course “Chemical Process Development” at the University of Oldenburg
This years course “Chemical Process Development” was very full and successful. 27 participants completed 12 design projects. For the first time I gave this course in the English language and had a first foreign student from the group of Prof. Apichat (SUT, Nakhon Ratchasima). After their design projects, 4 students continued the topic abroad, 2 in … Continue reading
New Publication: Measurement, correlation and prediction of isothermal vapor–liquid equilibria of different systems containing vegetable oils
Measurement, correlation and prediction of isothermal vapor–liquid equilibria of different systems containing vegetable oils Patrícia C. Belting, Jürgen Gmehling, Rainer Bölts, Jürgen Rarey, Roberta Ceriani, Osvaldo Chiavone-Filho, Antonio J.A. Meirelles ABSTRACT: Thermodynamic properties, in particular vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data, are required for the development of reliable predictive models for systems with fatty compounds. Isothermal VLE … Continue reading
Advanced Training Agreement With a Large Chemical Company
I always felt that my 2 or 3 day courses provide a good start for chemical thermodynamics and physical properties in process simulation. Once the participants start to apply the knowledge, they definitely would benefit from further coaching, which is not available in the current course structure. Now the first large company entered into a … Continue reading
Block Course “Chemical Process Development” was a success :-)
From Feb. 16 – 20 and March 2 – 20 I taught a full day course on “Chemical Process Development” to 26 very motivated and hard working students. The course included: Introduction, Overview Aspen Plus Intro Course Dortmund Data Bank (DDB) and DDB Software Package Chemical Thermodynamics for Process Simulation (Mostly in GVT-Course) Separation Process … Continue reading
Publication accepted by “Chemical Reviews”
This was good news, our publication has been accepted by Chemical Reviews, a very prestigious journal 🙂 “Saturation vapor pressures and transition enthalpies of low-volatility organic molecules of atmospheric relevance: from dicarboxylic acids to complex mixtures” Bilde, Merete; Barsanti, Kelley; Booth, Alastair; Cappa, Christopher; Donahue, Neil; Emanuelsson, Eva; McFiggans, Gordon; Krieger, Ulrich; Marcolli, Claudia; Topping, David; Ziemann, … Continue reading
CHEMCAD Basic Course Taught in Joure – The Netherlands
Two days at a pleasant company in Joure for a CHEMCAD Basic course. I think they will benefit a lot from introducing the simulator. On the way back shopping Dutch – cheese, flaa and the like 🙂 The supra still runs smooth on the highway. 250 no problem and the engine feels much cleaner now.
Publication Accepted: “A Universal Segment Approach for the Prediction of Activity Coefficients of Complex Pharmaceuticals in Non-electrolyte Solvents”
Today our publication was accepted by Fluid Phase Equilibria: A Universal Segment Approach for the Prediction of Activity Coefficients of Complex Pharmaceuticals in Non-electrolyte Solvents Kuveneshan Moodley, Jürgen Rarey, Deresh Ramjugernath
Finally back in Germany after A LOT of work on our Thai home and garden
Some windows are still missing due to problems with the contractor but we and the children can already live in the new place. Rung was so active, got up at 6 am or earlier every day and worked like a horse. I meanwhile spent most time in my home office or at university. Everybody had … Continue reading
3 Full Days “Thermische Verfahrenstechnik” Tutorial at University of Oldenburg
Instead of 2 hours per week for 3 months I taught the class in 3 full days to more than 30 students. From my feeling it was quite successful. At least all the students were really motivated, focused and hard working.
