CL 252M Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer (3-0-0-6) Preamble:

This course encompasses thermodynamics and heat transfer. Thermodynamics is primarily

concerned with the application to phase and reaction equilibria in multi-component systems. Its

of non-ideal solutions, vapor–liquid and liquid–liquid equilibria are covered in this course. Heat

Transfer deals with the flow of heat via three common modes, viz. conduction, convection and

radiation. The principles behind these modes and their applications to chemical engineering

problems are covered.

CL 451M Process Engineering (3-0-0-6) Preamble:

The vast subject of process engineering involves the analysis, design and operation of chemical and

biochemical processes. While other undergraduate subjects in chemical engineering addresses the

engineering aspects associated to either unit processes or unit operations, process engineering attempts

to assimilate the principles involved in these functional operations to evolve towards a mature

understanding of the process along with its efficacy. This course broadly outlines two functional features

of process engineering, namely, conceptual design and analysis of chemical processes with special

reference to process flow-sheeting and application of control theory principles in order to relate the

dependence of dependent variables on independent variables associated to a process.

Course contents:

Process flow-sheeting; PFD and P&ID, documents and symbols; outlines of unit operations and unit

processes; sizing and costing of process equipment; first principles model development; degrees of

freedom; linearization of nonlinear process; dynamics of first order and second order linear systems;

stability analysis of open loop process; frequency response analysis; Bode and Nyquist stability criterion;

design of feedback controller – P, PI and PID.
