Abstract

Solving practical problems in chemical engineering often requires the development and application of empirical equations.  Often a dimensionless-group approach is used to generalize the results pertaining to a particular problem. A laboratory exercise was developed aimed at exposing students to an approach on how to arrive at the best empirical equation.  The process studied was the transfer of oxygen to water.
