6.5. Additional Case Studies

The case studies presented in this chapter are just a few examples of case studies that could be used to illustrate principles from this text. Additional examples can be drawn from the published literature. Some of these case studies are formatted as problems, while others are reports that could serve as the basis for problems. The following list includes examples that have been formatted for use as problems:

• The text Pollution Prevention: Homework and Design Problems for Engineering Curricula, published by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, contains more than 20 case studies related to life cycles, design of materials, thermodynamics, and transport phenomena (Allen et al., 1992).

• A case study of selecting alternative battery materials for electric vehicles is provided by Allen and Steele (1994).
