内容简介：
【组织简介】 The UW-Madison Department of Chemical Engineering, founded in 1905, is well known for its many contributions to education and research. Otto L. Kowalke, who became the department chairman in 1914, started a tradition of authorship with his Fundamentals in Chemical Process Calculations.
Olaf A. Hougen came to the department for graduate study in 1916 and subsequently joined the faculty. He was both an international leader in the development of chemical engineering as a profession and a pioneer in chemical engineering education. The Olaf A. Hougen Professorship in Chemical Engineering is funded by the Hougen Professorship Fund of the University of Wisconsin Foundation. Colleagues and former students of Professor Hougen, other friends, and corporations have contributed to the fund to honor one of the founders of the modern chemical engineering profession.
Hougen and Kenneth M. Watson were co-authors of the three-volume text titled Chemical Process Principles (Material and Energy Balances; Thermodynamics; Kinetics & Catalysis), which was a milestone in the literature of the profession because of its emphasis on applying the basic principles of mathematics, chemistry and physics to the analysis of chemical processes. Roland A. Ragatz, who served on the department faculty for nearly half a century, was a co-author of subsequent editions of this text.
Another milestone was the 1960 publication of Transport Phenomena, by faculty members R. Byron Bird, Warren E. Stewart and Edwin N. Lightfoot. Both this text and Chemical Process Principles have had a major impact on chemical engineering curricula in the United States and abroad. A second edition of Transport Phenomena is forthcoming (see the Spring/Summer 2001 issue of On These Foundations for an update). Other widely used undergraduate text- books written by department faculty include Strategy of Process Engineering by Dale F. Rudd and Charles C. Watson, An Introduction to Chemical Engineering Kinetics and Reactor Design by Charles G. Hill, Jr. and Process Dynamics, Modeling and Control by B. A. Ogunnaike and W. Harmon Ray.
In addition, numerous advanced textbooks and research monographs have been written by our current faculty members.
