After five years at the Sinclair Research Laboratories, Warren Stewart joined the faculty of the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin in 1956, where he taught until 1997. As chairman of the department (1973–1978)

How many chemical engineers could write significant contributions on such widely varying topics as prediction of vapor pressures, reciprocal variational principles, kinetics of benzene hydrogenation, chemical kinetics and reaction engineering, multicomponent diffusion, orthogonal collocation, measurement of diffusivities, droplet vaporization, kinetic theory of rigid dumbbell suspensions, tokamak reactors, thermal diffusion, catalysis, corrosion, parameter estimation, Bayesian statistics, strategies for process modeling and parameter estimation, viscoelastic fluid dynamics, insulation qualities of animal fur, sensitivity analysis, and distillation column design? Whereas most professors tend to become very specialized, Warren Stewart was an impressive generalist.

In 1964 he and Richard Prober wrote a paper about the matrix approximations for multicomponent mass transport in Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Fundamentals; this work was followed by an article in AIChE Journal dealing with multicomponent diffusion in turbulent flow in 1973. An analytical solution of which he was particularly proud was that of the Fourier analysis of energy transport in turbulent tube flow at large Prandtl numbers, which appeared in AIChE Journal in 1987.
