Lewis, Randy S.; Moshfeghian, Aliakbar; Madihally, Sundararajan V.
Chemical Engineering Education, v40 n1 Win 2006
The AIChE Chem-E-Car competition provides students an opportunity to demonstrate their design and teamwork skills. Engineering analysis is not required at the national competition and is often not applied. This work describes an engineering analysis of a Chem-E-Car to predict the distance traveled by the car. Engineering analysis is advantageous since it provides insights into how a design can affect the function of the car.
