Thai TAP tutorial

Rebecca Fushimi (second from left), graduate student in materials science in the School of Engineering & Applied Science, explains the workings of the TAP-2 reactor system to students and professors from three Thai universities and colleges at the Particle Chemistry Laboratory in Urbauer Hall. The visitors from Thailand have purchased a TAP system and recently spent time at Washington University learning how to use it. The TAP-2 system, developed and patented by John Gleaves, Ph.D. (third from left), associate professor of chemical engineering, is a unique, millisecond system for testing catalytic activity in nonsteady state regimes. Gleaves and Gregory Yablonsky, Ph.D. (far left), research associate professor in chemical engineering, are hoping to establish long-term collaborations between Thai and American chemical engineering catalysis experts. Seated at right is Phungphai Phanawadee, D.Sc., assistant professor of chemical engineering at Kasetsart University, who earned his doctorate at Washington University. |
