Alternative Fuels and Chemicals
The global community is now beginning to feel the impact of reliance on petrochemicals. As thermochemistry concerns the transfer of energy in a chemical reaction, it is a critical aspect of determining suitable alternative transportation fuels and chemicals. Energy yields from alternative fuels must be taken into consideration, in addition to reaction rates in related downstream processing applications. |
Heating and Cooling Packs
Personal health and wellbeing is an important way in which thermochemistry and reaction rates impact us on a daily basis. The designing and manufacturing of a cold compress involves aspects of STEM and incorporates thermochemical principles such as enthalpy and reaction rates. |
