From page 56... ... He was a renowned chemical engineering scientist and professor of chemical engineering for 40 years at the University of Notre Dame. He invented the spinning basket reactor, which significantly impacted experimental work in catalytic reaction engineering. Read the entire page →
From page 57... ... In 1964 Jim conceived and developed the spinning basket reactor -- or, as it is sometimes called, the "Carberry reactor." This experimental apparatus, which allowed researchers to obtain kinetic information from real catalysts in the absence of diffusional effects, was the precursor of commercial laboratory reactors universally in use today. Jim's research focused on the kinetics of catalytic reactions in his reactor and on the interaction of chemical and physical effects in catalytic reactors Read the entire page →
From page 58... ... at Cambridge University's Churchill College. He also became a member of the Chemical Engineering Department advisory board of Princeton University (1980– 1990) Read the entire page →
From page 59... ... In chemical engineering education he advocated that the roots of the profession, which started in chemistry and then added physical engineering phenomena, should go back to applied chemistry. When we look at what chemical engineering departments around the country are doing today, we can appreciate that this was a rather prophetic view. Read the entire page →
From page 60... ... . The Chemical Engineering Department at Notre Dame owes its current reputation in large part to Carberry, by attracting the faculty that built the department to a competitive position. Read the entire page →
