Chemical Engineering

Anand Prakash has contributed extensively to the development and analysis of multiphase reactors widely used in clean fuels and chemicals production processes. The reactor models and techniques developed by his research group have been used by other research groups in industry and academia. The reactor models for Fischer Tropsch synthesis were developed by integrating years of research by different groups and validated with data from pilot and demonstration scale units. His research group is also developing low-cost process for biodiesel production.
