Chemical research engineer vs fuels engineer

Differences between chemical research engineer and fuels engineer duties and responsibilities

Chemical research engineer example responsibilities.

• Prepare research proposals for the synthesis of small molecules to attain designate department goals.
• Support projects with detail analysis including SEM, spectroscopy, etc.
• Observe modified surfaces of nanofibrils cellulose with scanning electron microscope (SEM).
• Synthesize and characterize colloidal room-temperature ferromagnetic CoFe2O4 nanoparticles.
• Help develop new products, produce data and run experiments.
• Process NMR data both manually and electronically to find coupling constants and other information relevant to elucidation of the chemical structure.

Fuels engineer example responsibilities.

• Manage the implementation of technology for better communicating and displaying radiological data used during emergency response.
• Inspect and troubleshoot heavy, and combination equipment.
• Perform long term PWR nuclear core design and fuel management.
• Analyze BWR cores from fuel cross section development through core model optimization.
• Interface with regulatory agencies domestically and internationally (e.g., NRC, etc . )
• Inspect coal mines, laboratory analysis and transportation routes to insure the best possible QA and QC standards.
