Chemical Engineering: It is all in the Balance with John J Turner, University of Nottingham
12th March 2018 @ 12:45 - 13:45
John J Turner is an Assistant Professor and Head of Admissions in the Department of
Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the University of Nottingham.
The primary outcome of this interactive webinar is an introduction to the process of material balance, an essential skill for multiple engineering fields. Participants will be able to relate some of the subject material they presently study in the sciences to Engineering applications.
The areas covered are material balance of basic separation processes, e.g. evaporation and atomic material balance of stoichiometric chemical reactions.
Lecturer Biography: John J Turner
Suitable for: Year 12s and Year 13s studying A-Level Chemistry, Mathematics and of some interest to Physicists. It is ideal for students with a potential interest in studying Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Applied Mathematics and Chemistry courses. While the primary focus is sixth form students, it would also be a good taster for GCSE students in Science and Mathematics too.
Preparation/Pre-Reading: No preparation/pre-reading is required for this event.
The IT Setup: The setup is similar to Skype, using a pc and webcam, although students take part as a group with the image projected on a whiteboard rather than as individuals in front of lots of pcs. Dedicated videoconferencing equipment is also compatible if available to the school/college. We will work with your IT department to ensure everything is set up and working prior to the event. The sessions are generally limited to 3 or 4 schools to maintain the interactive nature of the experience.
Booking a Place: Invitations to this event will be sent to schools and colleges by the University of Nottingham. Following an invitation, if you have a group of students that you think would benefit from taking part in this event, please contact us via email or via the contact form at the top right of this webpage (or at the bottom if you are using a mobile device). Subject to availability we will then book your place.
