2.
American Institute of Chemical Engineers; a professional organization for chemical engineers.
3.
A pressure measurement instrument that uses a sealed chamber to indicate pressure without using liquid.
4.
A manufacturing method where materials are processed in discrete groups or batches rather than continuously.
5.
Plastics made from renewable biological sources such as plants, algae, or agricultural waste.
6.
A simplified visual representation of a process showing only major equipment and material flows without detailed connections.
7.
The application of chemistry, physics, and engineering principles to design and operate processes that transform raw materials into useful products.
8.
The science that studies the composition, properties, and reactions of matter and substances.
9.
Coal that has been treated or processed to reduce harmful emissions and pollutants before or during combustion.
10.
A process that converts solid coal into a gas (syngas) that can be used as fuel or chemical feedstock.
11.
A manufacturing production method where materials flow constantly through the process without interruption.
12.
The process of analyzing a finished product to determine its chemical composition and ingredients.
13.
A mathematical equation accounting for material or energy flow at a specific point in time in a process.
14.
The science studying energy, heat, and the laws governing energy transformation in physical and chemical processes.
15.
The movement of liquids or gases through pipes, equipment, or processes.
16.
The force exerted by a gas or liquid per unit area.
17.
A large system of rotating ocean currents, often referring to areas where plastic waste accumulates.
18.
A mathematical equation accounting for the total material or energy accumulated in a process over a period of time.
19.
Smooth, orderly flow of a fluid in parallel layers without turbulence or mixing between layers.
20.
An accounting method that tracks all materials entering, leaving, and accumulating in a process.
21.
An instrument that measures the rate at which a fluid (liquid or gas) moves through a pipe or system.
22.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration; the U.S. federal agency responsible for workplace safety and health regulations.
23.
The arrangement and positioning of equipment, machinery, and work areas within a manufacturing facility.
24.
A detailed visual representation of a chemical process showing all equipment, connections, and material flows.
25.
Laws requiring employers to inform workers about hazardous chemicals and safety procedures in the workplace.
26.
Documents providing information about the hazards, properties, and safe handling procedures for chemical substances.
27.
The overall arrangement and organization of buildings, structures, and outdoor areas at an industrial facility.
28.
The force that causes the surface of a liquid to behave like an elastic membrane, resisting external forces.
29.
A temperature measurement device consisting of two different metals joined together that produce an electrical signal proportional to temperature.
30.
A measure of a fluid's resistance to flow; how thick or "sticky" a liquid or gas is.
31.
Unwanted or unusable material produced during a manufacturing process or chemical reaction.
32.
The fundamental principle of thermodynamics stating that if two objects are each in thermal equilibrium with a third object, they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
