ChERD aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in chemical engineering.
Papers showing how research results can be used in chemical engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research
work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research,
are particularly welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in plant or processes and that can be given quantitative expression
are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries of traditional chemical engineering.
The journal publishes regular special issues focusing on specific topics, and issues dedicated to selected papers from major conferences.
Core topic areas:
Distillation and absorption
• Hydrodynamics, heat and mass transfer in separation equipment
• Physical properties and thermodynamic models/methods
• Process design, operation and intensification
•
Process equipment characterisation
• Process modelling, simulation and optimisation
Fluid flow
•
All aspects of fluid flow in chemical and/or process vessels
Heat and mass transfer
• Mechanisms of heat and
mass transfer
• Multicomponent mass transfer
• Simulation of heat and mass transfer processes
• Simultaneous
heat and mass transfer
Materials processing and product development
• Fundamental properties of interest to
processing of materials
• Injection moulding of materials
• In-line measurement and control of material processes
• Morphological development processes
• Pre-processing, shaping, multi-layering and finishing of final product
