Race Cars and Missile Tests: An Overview of Computational Fluid Dynamics

STEMe

But these tests aren’t any ordinary tests—they usually involve a complex process known as computational fluid dynamics. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has its roots in the Navier-Stokes equations, a set of equations developed from 1822 to 1850 that describes the momentum balance of Newtonian fluids. But how does CFD work?

Quantum Computing

STEMe

What is quantum computing? Quantum computing refers to computers that solve complex problems that high performance computers, or supercomputers, can’t solve. Quantum computers can resolve the laws of quantum theory and other problems involving elementary particles and microscopic physics. How does it work?

Using adsorbents to help society

Futurum

Firstly, since sorbents can separate molecules from each other, finding new sorbents that can do this as efficiently as possible will reduce the energy needed for each separation. For adsorption to help with healthcare and environmental issues, scientists need to develop new adsorbent materials that are more energy efficient.

Concrete change: the innovative chemistry of sustainable cement

Futurum

“Unlike other manufacturing processes that emit CO 2 through their use of energy, emissions from cement production are mainly from the conversion of the raw material into clinker, a key process in cement manufacture,” he says. Materials science and process engineering requires the integration of various fields. Prospects.ac.uk
