Through the looking glass: A chemical engineer’s perspective on bulk powder handling in the glass industry
Bulkagram 17, January 23, 2023 Happy New Year Everyone! As a chemical engineer amidst mechanical engineering stalwarts, the importance of designing the chemical processes and understanding the material science is often drowned out by the noise of our heavy weights: the mechanical engineers and their (albeit well designed) robust mechanical machinery! Unlike mechanical engineers’ the […]
