At Purdue's Davidson School of Chemical Engineering, transport phenomena and thermodynamics research explores how fluids, heat and molecules behave across scales — from nanoscale interactions to industrial-scale processes. Our researchers combine computational modeling with experimental work to advance energy storage, pharmaceutical manufacturing and next-generation materials design.
