Titration Calculations with Computer Algebra Software
Russ Lachance; Andrew Biaglow
PRIMUS Vol. 22, No. 4 (2012) pp. 317–337
This article examines the symbolic algebraic solution of the titration equations for a diprotic acid, as obtained using "Mathematica," "Maple," and "Mathcad." The equilibrium and conservation equations are solved symbolically by the programs to...

A Computer Algebra Approach to Solving Chemical Equilibria in General Chemistry
Melinda Kalainoff; Russ Lachance; Dawn Riegner; Andrew Biaglow
PRIMUS Vol. 22, No. 4 (2012) pp. 284–302
In this article, we report on a semester-long study of the incorporation into our general chemistry course, of advanced algebraic and computer algebra techniques for solving chemical equilibrium problems. The method presented here is an alternative...

Interdisciplinary Learning for Chemical Engineering Students from Organic Chemistry Synthesis Lab to Reactor Design to Separation
Matt Armstrong; Richard L. Comitz; Andrew Biaglow; Russ Lachance; Joseph Sloop
Chemical Engineering Education (CEE) Vol. 42, No. 4 (2008) pp. 193–200
A novel approach to the Chemical Engineering curriculum sequence of courses at West Point enabled our students to experience a much more realistic design process, which more closely replicated a real world scenario. Students conduct the synthesis in ...
