In this issue
This month's issue covers a wide variety of topics. Our Cover Story
sheds light on rupture disc performance and the technologies used in
these safety devices. We have an Engineering Practice
article that takes the reader through a series of
practical troubleshooting experiences, as well as articles
on vortex breakers and Prandtl numbers. The
Feature Report looks in depth at electropositive filter
media. Our Newsfronts cover the latest developments
in the glass industry, and in heat exchanger
design. And as always, the latest technology news
can be found in our Chementator section. We hope
you enjoy reading.

hemical Engineering has been a leading source for technology
and news for the chemical process industries (CPI)
since the launch of our magazine in 1902. Additionally,
we seek to bring recognition to, and to help advance, the
chemical engineering profession. With that in mind, Chemical Engineering
established the annual Chopey Scholarship for Chemical
Engineering Excellence in late 2007. The award is named after Nicholas
P. Chopey, the magazine's former Editor-in-Chief, who devoted
over 47 years of his professional career to making valuable contributions
to Chemical Engineering.
The 2016 award winner
Congratulations to this year's scholarship recipient,
Meghan O'Leary, who is a third-year student
of chemical engineering at the State University
of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo. She is a
member of the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor
Society, as well as of the University's Honor College
and is on the Dean's List. She was also the
recipient of the 2015 Grace W. Capen Academic
Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement
and of the 2015 Sophomore Organic Chemistry
Award for Scholastic Excellence. In addition to
her academic achievements, O'Leary is active in the university's Cross
Country and Track Club. She is interested in continuing her education
and pursuing an M.S. degree in chemical engineering.
About the scholarship
The scholarship is awarded to current third-year students who are
enrolled in a fulltime undergraduate course of study in chemical engineering
at one of the following four-year colleges or universities, which
include Chopey's alma mater and those of our editorial staff: University
of Buffalo, University of Kansas, Columbia University, University of
Virginia, Rutgers University and the University of Oklahoma.
The scholarship is a one-time award. The program utilizes standard
Scholarship America recipient selection procedures, including
the consideration of past academic performance and future potential,
leadership and participation in school and community activities, work
experience, and statement of career and educational goals.
More information about the award, including how to apply and how
to contribute a donation, can be found at www.chemengonline.com/
