Session: Fundamentals of Food, Energy, and Water Systems (2018 AIChE Annual Meeting)

Description:

Providing food, energy, and water for the growing and economically-developing human population is a pressing challenge. This is a challenge which chemical engineers are uniquely positioned to address. This session accepts theoretical, modeling, or experimental papers on the fundamentals of food, water and energy systems, and how the systems are integrated and coupled to each other, creating a "nexus."
