Résumé

The process laboratory course is an excellent vehicle to teach and demonstrate electrochemical engineering principles.  The projects in the laboratory have spanned from energy conversion to electroplating to environmental engineering.  The electrochemical engineering projects typically involve thermodynamics, kinetics, transport processes (diffusion, convection, and electromigration), reactor design, and scale-up.  These electrochemical processes can be analyzed using chemical engineering principles, with the main difference being the addition of the effects of a potential gradient and current distribution.
