= Chemical engineer
A <chemical engineer> applies <chemical engineering> to processes involving reactions, separations or material transport. The work can include constructing mass and <energy> balances, estimating equipment sizes and interpreting measurements from a process. For a distillation system, vapor-liquid equilibrium predicts separation possibilities while heat and material flows determine how the equipment can achieve them. The role connects molecular properties to the behaviour of larger interacting units.
