Large-scale modular and uniformly thick origami-inspired adaptable and load-carrying structures
Nature CommunicationsExisting Civil Engineering structures have limited capability to adapt their configurations for new functions, non-stationary environments, or future reuse. Although origami principles provide capabilities of dense packaging and reconfiguration, existing

AI in chemical engineering: From promise to practice
AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) in chemical engineering has moved from promise to practice: physics‐aware (gray‐box) models are gaining traction, reinforcement learning complements model predictive control (MPC), and generative AI powers documentation, digitization, and safety workflows.

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract In pharmaceutical industries, continuous manufacturing methods have already been well established to improve productivity and process intensification. However, to better understand the trade‐offs of continuous crystallizers over the existing batch production systems, a robust technoeconomic cost and sustainability analysis is necessary to ...

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates a fault‐tolerant control (FTC) approach for continuous stirred‐tank reactors (CSTR), emphasizing the importance of timely interventions to ensure operational safety under fault conditions. A systematic methodology combining residual‐based fault estimation and Dynamic Safety Margin (DSM) monitoring is developed to guide ...

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Electrification of distillation offers a promising route to reducing scope‐1 emissions from one of the chemical industry's most energy‐intensive unit operations. However, conventional adiabatic columns are dynamically inflexible: Long, energy‐intensive start‐ups make shutdown and restart impractical under variable electricity prices and ...

Computational study of permeability in cardboard coating layers
AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract We develop a virtual material structure model based on a combination of tessellations and Gaussian random fields for a coating layer of paperboard used for packaging and designed to facilitate printing on the surface. To fit the model to tomographic image data acquired using combined focused ion beam and scanning electron microscopy (FIB‐SEM),

Challenges and enablers in fluidization technology
AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Gas–solid fluidized beds provide excellent heat and mass transfer for high‐throughput operations from coating to catalytic conversion and underpin emerging low‐carbon technologies. Yet industrial reliability, scale‐up, and control lag scientific understanding, particularly as finer, stickier, and more variable feedstocks increasingly challenge
