Introduction to Reactor Design: CHE 3K4

Administrative Class materials

Announcements (previous ones) or follow @3k4reactors

15 Mar: job opening with Kevin over the summer. I'm looking for a student to work with Dan Wright and myself for 2 months (full time), or 3.5 months (part time) to help redesign and implement the ChemEng website in Drupal. Experience with webservers, and Linux is a plus; knowledge of Drupal is mandatory. Work will be to evaluate other websites, take all user requirements into account, and convert existing pages over to the Drupal CMS. Email me by the end of March.
20 Mar: grades for assignment 3 (=3A+3B combined) have been posted to Avenue.
21 Mar: I was surprised that most of you had not seen structured variables in MATLAB before in tonight's class. I had assumed you were familiar with them. I have updated the code to show how structured variables can be used to carry information around between the outer function (driver.m) and the inner function (pfr_example.m).
