Michael Khonsari is Dow Chemical Endowed Chair, and Professor and Director of the Center for Rotating Machinery (CeRoM) at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Louisiana State University, Fellow of the ASME. [1] Khonsari received his BS, MS and PhD degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin.
The first structured method for documenting process flow, the flow process chart, was introduced by Frank Gilbreth to members of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) in 1921 as the presentation “Process Charts—First Steps in Finding the One Best Way”. [5] Gilbreth's tools quickly found their way into industrial engineering ...
Various machine components used in mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineering is the study of physical machines that may involve force and movement. It is an engineering branch that combines engineering physics and mathematics principles with materials science, to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. [1]
A process flow diagram (PFD) is a diagram commonly used in chemical and process engineering to indicate the general flow of plant processes and equipment. The PFD displays the relationship between major equipment of a plant facility and does not show minor details such as piping details and designations.
The Louisiana State University System is a system of public colleges and universities in Louisiana. It is budgetarily the largest public university system in the state. William F. Tate IV is president of the LSU system, and also serves as chancellor of its flagship campus and namesake, Louisiana State University.
Another 1944 graduate, Ben S. Graham, Director of Formcraft Engineering at Standard Register Corporation, adapted the flow process chart to information processing with his development of the multi-flow process chart to display multiple documents and their relationships. In 1947, ASME adopted a symbol set derived from the Gilbreths' original ...
Since the school is part of the LSU system, students are required to pay tuition. The school is located on the main campus of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, a center for the petrochemical industry and a major deep-water port. The school was designated a National Blue Ribbon School in 2015 and 2022. [2]
The College of Engineering and Science and its predecessors have had two main homes on the Tech campus since 1904. The first building for Tech’s engineering program was built in 1904 and named the Mechanic Arts Building. This building housed the Mechanic Arts Department (which over time expanded into the School of Engineering) from 1904 until ...
