mathematics, fluid dynamics, transport phenomena, statistics, and physical chemistry could be used to solve critical problems in spray processing, and that this could be done in such a way as to obtain workable design methods and performance characteristics of spray dryers. In 1981 a practicing engineer in a large U.S.

His concern for the inability of engineers to be effective in the political and public service arenas led him to establishing courses in the General Engineering Department dealing with the interaction of engineering and society. He also gave positive encouragement to the development of the first instructional program on technical~apanese translation in the United States, and set up a mechanism for faculty and student exchange between the chemical engineering departments of the University of Wisconsin and Kyoto University.
