Process intensification education contributes to sustainable development goals: Part 2
Achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals requires industry and society to develop tools and processes that work at all scales, enabling goods delivery, services, and technology to large conglomerates and remote regions. Process Intensification (PI) is a technological advance that promises to deliver means to reach these goals, but higher education has yet to totally embrace the program. Here, we present practical examples on how to better teach the principles of PI in the context of the Bloom's taxonomy and summarise the current industrial use and the future demands for PI, as a continuation of the topics discussed in Part 1. In the appendices, we provide details on the existing PI courses around the world, as well as teaching activities that are showcased during these courses to aid students’ lifelong learning. The increasing number of successful commercial cases of PI highlight the importance of PI education for both students in academia and industrial staff.We acknowledge the sponsors of the Lorentz’ workshop on“Educating in PI”: The MESA+Institute of the University of Twente,Sonics and Materials (USA) and the PIN-NL Dutch Process Intensi-fication Network.

Thermodynamical investigations of some non-electrolytic ternary mixtures
308-315Molar excess volume, and molar excess enthalpies HEijk of various nitrobenzene (i) + benzene (j) + toluene (k) nitrobenzene (i) + benzene (j) + o- xylene (k) and nitrobenzene (i) + benzene (j) +p-xylene (k) ternary mixtures have been measured as a function of composition at 298.15 K. The observed data have been analysed in terms of i) Graph theory, ii) Sanchez and Lacombe and iii) Flory's theories. The calculated XEijk values (X = V or H) by Graph and Flory's theories compare well with their corresponding experimental values
Musculoskeletal based finite element analysis of femur after total hip replacement
This article evaluates the effect of stress variation on adult femur following total hip replacement using musculoskeletal-based finite element analysis. The aim was to study the changes in stress distribution in the femur after total hip replacement by providing simulated in vivo loading and boundary conditions. The loading and boundary conditions were generated using a musculoskeletal modelling software 'AnyBody' and were applied on femur model, generated from the computed tomography (CT) scan data for standing posture of male patient. The results showed considerable variation in stress distribution pattern in the femur before and after total hip replacement, the metallic implant taking major loads of human body and transferring very less loads to the femur
