What are the chemical principles of
engineering?
• Principles that underlie the useful properties of atoms, molecules,
macromolecules, continuum ensembles, materials
• Is it chemistry? Is it physics? Is it biology?
• Biochemistry? Physical chemistry? Chemical physics?
• Physical organic chemistry? Biophysical chemistry?
• Quantum mechanics? Statistical mechanics?
• Semiconductor physics? Organic semiconductors?
• I don’t care! These are all “molecular sciences”.
• Student need to master these principles - and can.
• Molecular modeling and computer visualization helps greatly!
“New Approaches for Teaching the Chemical Principles of Engineering.” New England Section Conf., March 17-18, 2006.
ChE is the engineering profession
that focuses on applying chemistry.
• Phase and reaction equilibria
– Bond and interaction energies
– Ideal-gas thermochemistry
– Thermochemistry and
equations of state for real
gases, liquids, solids, mixtures
– Adsorption and solvation
• Reaction kinetics
– Rate constants, products
– Metabolic pathways
• Transport properties
– Interaction energies, dipole
– µ, kthermal, DAB
• Analytical information
– Spectroscopy: Frequencies,
UV / Vis /IR absorptivity
– GC elution times
– Mass spectrometric ionization
potentials and cross-sections,
fragmentation patterns
– NMR shifts
• Protein folding and misfolding,
docking, ADME, drug discovery
• Mechanical properties of hard
and soft condensed matter
• Electronic & optical properties

Yes, ChE is the engineering profession
that focuses on applying chemistry.
• But mechanical engineers use many properties that
are molecular in origin.
– Basic thermochemistry: ∆fHº, Cpº, Sº
– P-V-T relations
– Strength of materials
• So do civil and environmental engineers
– Chemical and biological treatment
– Air, water, soil properties
– Effects of environment on materials
• And likewise electrical and computer engineers
– Band gap as collective HOMO-LUMO differences.
“New Approaches for Teaching the Chemical Principles of Engineering.” New England Section Conf., March 17-18, 2006.
We all need to understand the chemical principles
of engineering because we all need properties.
• Maybe accurate, precisely known numbers.
– Necessary for accurate design, costing, safety analysis.
– Cost and time for calculation may be secondary.
• Maybe “just” accurate trends and estimates.

Often more valuable.
Correlate with data to get high-accuracy predictions.
Use to identify relationships between structure and properties.
Enormous value for product and process development,
operations, and troubleshooting.
• Great data are best, but we must understand enough
theory to predicting unmeasured properties.
“New Approaches for Teaching the Chemical Principles of Engineering.” New England Section Conf., March 17-18, 2006.
1. Most property predictions are by correlations,
wholly empirical or theory-based.
• Arrhenius
kinetics
• Ideal gas law
• Ideal gas
mixtures
(P=xiP= Pi):
• Ideal solutions
• Activity
coefficients

2. Property correlations require a grasp of
underlying principles.

6. We can use these computational tools to help us
teach about theory and applications.
The educational principle:
• Easy visualization and successful predictions motivate
students to study useful underlying theories.

Then they’ll tackle “How” -- the needed theory.
• Maxwell-Boltzmann and Bose-Einstein statistics.
• Ideal-gas thermochemistry for Cpº and Sº, broken down
into additive translation, rotation, vibration:

• Compare with group additivity correlations.
• [Can develop transition-state theory quickly, logically.]

Get bond lengths, bond angles, frequencies from
analogies -- or from quantum chemistry.
• Efficiently explain the underlying quantum
chemistry.
• Easiest to think of a small, covalently bonded
molecule like H2 or CH4 in vacuo.
With energies,
• Most simply, the goal of electronic structure

calculations is energy.

For quantum mechanics, a Hamiltonian operator is
used for translational + kinetic energy.
• Obtain a Hamiltonian function for a wave using the
Hamiltonian operator:
h2 2
H 
  U(x, y, z)

to obtain:
ih (q ,t)
E  H (q,t) 

where  is the “wavefunction,” an eigenfunction
of the equation
• Born recognized that 2 is the probability density function

Construct each MO yi by LCAO.
• Lennard-Jones (1929) proposed treating
molecular orbitals as linear combinations
of atomic orbitals (LCAO):

y i   Ci i
i 1
• Linear combination of s orbital on one atom with s or p
orbital on another gives s bond:
• Linear combination of p orbital on one atom with p orbital
on another gives  bond:

Simulate the real functionality with gaussians.
• Start with a function that describes hydrogenic orbitals
well.

– Slater functions are “best”; e.g.,
– Gaussian functions are better; e.g.,
• No s cusp at r=0
• However, all analytical integrals
– Linear combinations of
gaussians; e.g., STO-3G
• 3 Gaussian “primitives” to simulate
a STO

7. Use them to solve some small, real problems
that reinforce the point.
• Heat of combustion for dimethyloxirane safety.
• Rate constant for simple reaction like C2H4+OH.
• Heat of solvation for small molecules in various
solvents.
• Fit Lennard-Jones parameters for simple potential.

In conclusion,
We can use these tools effectively to teach the
chemical principles our students will need.
• Build on students’ chemistry education and their prior
use of properties to solve problems.
• Refresh their recognitions of molecule types using
sketching / visualization codes.
• Have them predict structures and properties.
• With them motivated, build the underlying theory.
• Have them obtain properties for use.
