The Chemical side!!

From a Chemical Engineer to the flip side of every equation

While an optimist, pessimist and realist guys were busy arguing about the glass of water, an opportunist drank it; We were busy calculating the molar composition of H2O, O2, N2, Ar, CO2 and other components.

When NY times quotes 'Never Drink Hot Water From the Tap' because it contains lead. We prefer to ring it this way - The only reason for the involvement of lead is through the corroded plumbing (only in case of old apartments and if the plumber is the dumbest of lot to have not used galvanized steel pipes) but then the cold water runs through the same pipe. Plus boiling the cold water does no good, it actually increases the concentration. So what's better off? 0.1ppm lead from hot water or 0.5ppm by boiling cold water. We still find it baseless to a certain extent.

When you say you gotta moment? We think of the dipoles passing one another.

When you find a solution, We prefer to look for a beaker around you. 

When you handover a glass of alcohol, We know it's an 'ideal solution'. 

When you talk about the head, We assume you meant the pressure.  

When you buy something organic, We understand how confusing and complicated purchase that is. 

When you find a research manual and happen to find the words Three samples were chosen for a detailed study, We know it was because the others didn't give any results.

When you tend to explain Osmosis, We take it as Assmosis - The process by which some people seem to absorb success and grades by kissing up to their professors. 

When you say that's the test, We understand it's a really screwed up way to conduct research and you might end up killing yourself or someone else in the lab, but we conduct the test because we know hell was full for us.

We don't think plant design is a botany course

We might not misread simulation to stimulation

We react better in packed beds  


We wouldn't have agreed with Einstein if he hadn't provided observation tables and trends.

We know what pressure turns coals into diamonds 

The only ghosts we believe in are the methylated spirits

The only vitamin we trust is the ibuprofen 

The only meaning of experiments - We'll know what we want when we see the fumes.   

Chemical Engineering is the only field that involves heat, pumping and mass transfer
