  • Eggsplosion! Grace and Dallin Heninger have been working to accurately change the hydrogen concentration with air inside of an egg to determine how the fragment energies correspondingly change. This is similar to what is done with a 20 L sphere to determine flammability limits but instead of fragment energies, the max pressure and max rate of change of that pressure is recorded.

  • Gregory Lakis and Nathanial Adams presented their work at this year's Explosives Testing Users Group meeting in Salt Lake City. Gregory spoke about the time to ignition testing and modeling of barrels of propellant and Nathaniel spoke about the modeling and testing of overpressure from exploding structures. It was also great seeing Jacob Burrell there (a previous member of TIPICE) presenting on overpressure measurements from HD1.1 blasts.

    We've added some images of our Savior Jesus Christ to the Projects-Based Laboratory area in the Unit Operations lab. They highlight the first recorded miracle Jesus performed in turning water to wine. They represent the effort needed in following His commandments (filling the jars with water) and His miraculous grace in multiplying our efforts resulting in a transformation to enrich and benefit many. Our efforts can be significantly multiplied with His help.

  • Joseph Tuft presented our paper on using a Terrarium to help chemical engineering students understand mass transfer, mass balances, and kinetics principles in an undergraduate laboratory activity at the 2024 ASEE national meeting in Portland Oregon. He did really well. Our paper is published as part of the conference proceedings. BYU students in chemical engineering get to interface with the terrarium in the ChEn 345 course.

  • The bioreactor lab cultivating and optimizing yogurt production is an open ended problem recently implemented in ChEn 479 unit operations lab at BYU. This 4-week project is very open ended with little guidance. Fletcher Blake Smith and his group did great!

    Prospective Nuclear Design and Development Researcher

    In one of my Chemical Engineering classes this semester, we work on projects that bring concepts from all of my previous classes together to see Chemical Engineering in action. These projects are also valuable opportunities to work in teams with my classmates, develop project management skills, and practice writing proposals and reports. I recently finished a project with Niccolo Rosborough and Isabela Urraco where we made yogurt from milk and bacteria by changing the temperature of our bench-scale reactor to optimize our yogurt yield. We got to perform 3 runs of our experiment and were able to achieve an optimum yield of 90.03%. The class requirement for this project was to write an individual report of our findings in Overleaf. I'm glad to say that I really enjoyed writing a technical report and learning the nuances of LaTeX, including adding figures, equations, and tables! Oh, I almost forgot about making figures to use in my report!

  • Crystal Webb and I presented about the behavior of gasses and liquids to some of the students at the McGillis School in Salt Lake City. My amazing sister Kimberly Dean regularly teaches the class. Crystal brought liquid nitrogen and we demonstrated the effects of low temperature on rubber bands, tomatoes, bread, balloons, and more. One of the student's questions: why is it boiling if its not hot?
