... In areas of reservoir engineering such as phase behavior, vapor-liquid equilibrium, retrograde condensation in gas condensate systems, solid gas hydrate formations from water-gas during flow, and arctic gas hydrate formation, Dr. Katz was beyond question the world leader.
From page 172...
... Professor Katz travelled widely, contributing to improvement of graduate chemical engineering programs with seminars and workshops, particularly in the Far East, India, and Brazil (he spent a semester at the University of Brazil assisting in the inauguration of a new graduate program in 1963~. He was awarded the University of Michigan's Distinguished Faculty Achievement Award in 1964 and was named the Alfred H
