CHEMICAL ENGINEERING (05) CHEMICAL ENGINEERING MATHS


B.E. 4th SEMESTER

Type of course: Mathematics in Chemical Engineering

Prerequisite: Engineering Mathematics

Rationale: In chemical engineering, problems arising in heat and mass transfer, fluid mechanics, chemical

reaction engineering, thermodynamics, modeling and simulation, etc. involve linear algebra, nonlinear

algebraic equations, ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, etc. The numerical methods

give the solution of applied problems when ordinary analytical methods fail. The increasing importance of

numerical methods has led to enhanced demand for courses dealing with the techniques of numerical

analysis. It is therefore clean training in engineering would be incomplete without an adequate understanding

of numerical methods. The students should gain ability which enables them to select the appropriate

numerical technique to solve a given engineering problem.

Prerequisite: Basics of Chemical Process Industries

Rationale: The development of refining and petro-chemical industries in the country has made it

compulsory for the chemical engineers to understand important aspects of petroleum refining and

petrochemical technology. Petroleum refining as well as petrochemical industries constitute a major part of

chemical sector. Every chemical engineer has to invariably handle the enormous consumption of petroleum

products, their diversity and increasing applications. Chemical engineer has to apply the relevant concepts

for operating petroleum refinery or petrochemical plant in a smooth and safe manner. Beside this, a

chemical engineer must be aware about the various properties of petroleum fractions as well as

petrochemicals. Hence, this course has been designed to develop such expertise and skills.

Prerequisite: Basic Knowledge of Unit Operations, Fundamental of Process Engineering and

Engineering Mathematics.

Rationale: The Process Modeling, Simulation and Optimization of chemical engineering processes is a

subject of major importance for the knowledge of transport processes; improved design process and its

kinetics. Basically this subject comprises of three parts; modeling, simulation and optimization. Modeling

estimations, decomposition of networks, application of numerical methods, data regression, convergence

promotion, specific-purpose simulation, dynamic simulation, etc. Optimization includes the concept; i.e.,

how one develops mathematical statements for the objective function (usually economic model) to be

minimized or maximized and the equality and inequality constraints (the process model) and selection of

optimization technique which is best suited to the problem characteristics.

also required to elaborate a list of the main process variables. To obtain the operation algorithm, analyse

and interpret the variables behavior and problems to choose equipment for the same. Dimension the

equipment and adapt methodologies for the resolution of a new situation. The general idea is to give the

students an elaborate knowledge of the solid- fluid operations that are directly applicable in industries.

Course Outcome:

After learning the course the students should be able:

To make students aware about all the solid fluid operations in chemical industries.

To understand the principles behind different solid - fluid operations.

To make student understand the global scenario and requirement of solid fluid operations and

advancement in the same field.

To understand the variety of application of solid fluid operations in chemical industries.

To make student realize application and design related problems in solid-fluid operations in

chemical industries.

List of Tutorials:

Students can select any solid- fluid mechanical operation and identify problems related to its design and

application in current industries. Students can modify the design or can suggest the changes required for

better operation in terms of economy and efficiency. Students can also optimize the equipment for better

results and data collection. Students need to prepare a report on the same topic and also to prepare power

point presentation on the same. List of Open Source Software/learning website:

Students can refer to video lectures available on various websites including NPTEL.

Students can refer to the CDs which are available with some reference books for the solutions of

problems using software. Students can develop their own programs for the solutions using excel,

Chemical and other simulation software.

ACTIVE LEARNING ASSIGNMENTS:

Preparation of power-point slides, which include videos, animations, pictures, graphics for better

understanding theory and practical work – The faculty will allocate chapters/ parts of chapters to groups

of students so that the entire syllabus to be covered. The power-point slides should be put up on the

web-site of the College/ Institute, along with the names of the students of the group, the name of the

faculty, Department and College on the first slide. The best three works should submit to GTU.



SUBJECT NAME: Fertilizer Technology


B.E. 8thSEMESTER


Prerequisite: Basics of Chemical Process Industries and Chemical Technology

Rationale: Indian economy is dominated by agriculture sector. Synthetic fertilizers are must for producing good crops.

Hence it is needed to provide comprehensive and balanced understanding of essential link between

chemistry and the synthetic fertilizer industry. It is therefore vital for chemical engineers to understand for

each fertilizer product, its flow diagram for Industry production. For this purpose,students should have

skills for arranging treatment, reaction and separation steps in a flow diagram for variety of fertilizers

including Nitrogenous fertilizers, Phosphatic fertilizer, Potash Fertilizer, Complex fertilizer and Bio

fertilizers is essential. Hence this course is designed to achieve this objective.
