First, environmental engineering studentsare taught chemical-reaction engineering principles relating to a wide variety of environmentalfate and transport issues. Second, as part of TSU’s engineering course curriculum, students use anon-ideal flow laboratory reactor system and run a tracer study to establish residence timedistribution (RTD).
