Motivating Technical Writing Through Study Of The Environment, J. Linsdell, Thalia Anagnos
Thalia Anagnos
Today’s engineers must be more than just technically competent. To be successful in our increasingly global economy in which teamwork and interdisciplinary interaction are the norm, engineers must have excellent communication skills. In recognition of industry needs, the San José State University College of Engineering redesigned its technical communication course to ensure that students graduate with writing and speaking skills that will transfer readily to their career needs and the global arena. The course aims to motivate students through exploring topics that are meaningful to them and using communication formats that they will see in the workplace. Combing technical communication …
Analysis And Kinetics Of The Sequencing Batch Reactors, Udeme J. Ndon
Analysis And Kinetics Of The Sequencing Batch Reactors, Udeme J. Ndon
Udeme J. Ndon
Fundamental analysis and kinetics of treatment reactors are major topics in environmental engineering literature. These fundamental topics in reactor processes are well known for the ideal batch reactor, the continuous stirred tank reactor, and the plug flow reactor. The sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) are relatively new in the field, but are widely used. Despite the wide application of sequencing batch reactors in the field, information is lacking on the fundamental analysis and kinetics, especially with comparison to the ideal batch reactor. This report presents analysis and kinetics of the sequencing batch reactors and compares the kinetics equations developed with those …
