Organizational Unit
Chemical and Biological Engineering

The function of the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering has been to prepare students for the study and application of chemistry in industry. This focus has included preparation for employment in various industries as well as the development, design, and operation of equipment and processes within industry.Through the CBE Department, Iowa State University is nationally recognized for its initiatives in bioinformatics, biomaterials, bioproducts, metabolic/tissue engineering, multiphase computational fluid dynamics, advanced polymeric materials and nanostructured materials.

History
The Department of Chemical Engineering was founded in 1913 under the Department of Physics and Illuminating Engineering. From 1915 to 1931 it was jointly administered by the Divisions of Industrial Science and Engineering, and from 1931 onward it has been under the Division/College of Engineering. In 1928 it merged with Mining Engineering, and from 1973–1979 it merged with Nuclear Engineering. It became Chemical and Biological Engineering in 2005.

Abstract

The quadrature-based semi-analytical solution for the conditional moment closure (SA-CMC) given in (A. D. Ilgun, A. Passalacqua, and R. O. Fox, “A quadrature-based conditional moment closure for mixing-sensitive reactions,” Chem. Eng. Sci., 226, 2020) eliminates the additional conditioning-space discretization in CMC applications by assuming that the mixture-fraction PDF is well represented by a β-PDF. A Gaussian quadrature provides the mixture-fraction abscissae, and the conditional scalar mean is expressed in terms of Jacobi polynomials. Here, by preserving the computational efficiency of SA-CMC, a novel quadrature-based moment method (QBMM-CMC) is developed for CMC applications, which does not assume the form of the mixture-fraction PDF. Remarkably, by solving the closed forms for the micromixing terms from CMC, exact expressions result for the mixture-fraction moments of any order. Thus, QBMM-CMC covers cases where the mixture-fraction PDF cannot be well represented by a β-PDF and can be applied to disperse multiphase flows with mass transfer (e.g., droplet evaporation). For single-phase and multiphase pure-mixing problems, the QBMM-CMC mixture-fraction moments are observed to deviate from the β-PDF. For single-phase mixing with and without dispersed-phase mass transfer, QBMM-CMC predictions for mixing-sensitive competitive-consecutive and parallel reactions are investigated parametrically.
