Share your story! Tell us your mass and energy balance moment.
As part of the lead-up to our 2016 Centennial Celebration of MIT’s School of Chemical Engineering Practice—affectionately known as “The Practice School”—we interviewed alumni from across the decades and produced a series of short videos exploring a range of topics. In this video, [link here], Carl Bozzuto, now with Electric Utility Consultants, shares his thoughts Continue reading

From Theory to Trust: How the Conservation of Energy Shaped Modern Thermodynamics
A foundational cornerstone of chemical engineering is the mass and energy balance. This principle states with absolute certainty that mass and energy are conserved. In a steady-state, continuous process, the mass and energy entering a system must precisely equal those exiting – not approximately, but exactly. If there’s a discrepancy in these numbers, it indicates Continue reading

About Me
Hi! I’m Bob Hanlon. After earning my Sc.D. in chemical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and enjoying a long career in both industry and academia, I’ve returned to school, my own self-guided school, seeking to better understand the world of thermodynamics. Please join me on my journey.
