DEFINITION OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING....!
There are many definitions are defined by eminent personalities, here I was collected only little...
Definition found in a standard dictionary:
“A branch of engineering which involves the design and operation of large scale chemical plants, petrochemical refineries, and the like.”
Another definition:
“Concerned with processes that cause substances to undergo required changes in their chemical or physical composition, structure, energy content or physical state.”
Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the application of physical science (e.g. chemistry and physics), and life sciences (e.g. biology, microbiology and biochemistry) with mathematics, to the process of converting raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms. In addition to producing useful materials, modern chemical engineering is also concerned with pioneering valuable new materials and techniques - such as nanotechnology, fuel cells and biomedical engineering. A person employed in this field is called a chemical engineer.
A Popular definition of Chemical Engineering is:
" Carrying out the Reactions on large scale based on the information given by Chemists "AIChE Defintion of Chemical Engineering:
" Chemical Engineering is the application of the principles of
the Physical Sciences together with the principles of Economics &
Human relations to fields, that pertain directly to processes and
process equipment in which matter is treated to effect a change in
state, energy content & composition.Definition found in a standard dictionary:

Chemical engineers use math,
physics, and economics to solve practical problems. The difference
between chemical engineers and other types of engineers is that they
apply a knowledge of chemistry in addition to other engineering
disciplines. Chemical engineers may be called 'universal engineers'
because their scientific and technical mastery is so extensive.

Post me some more Definitions if you know,
Waiting for your comments....
