GTU Chemical engineering B.E sem 7 syllabus of all subjects
(1) Summer Internship (3170001):
(2) Chemical Reactions Engineering II
(3170501):
Rationale: The course is intended to
familiarize the students with concepts of gas-solid catalytic and non-catalytic
reactors and gas-liquid reactors, concepts of catalysis kinetics and
mechanistic aspects of catalysts, design and rating of catalytic reactors and
design aspects of Gas-Liquid Reactors.
(3) Process Equipment Design (3170502)
Rationale: Equipment design involves
determination of all linear dimensions of equipment like diameter, length, etc.
It also includes determination of thickness and weight of different parts of equipment.
Readymade software’s are available for the design of equipment’s. However, to
use these soft wares effectively and correctly fundamental knowledge of this
subject is required. With rapid rate of increase in the advancement of
knowledge, it is important that the students should know also about the latest
development in the design of equipments. Students who like to work as Design
Engineer, Process Engineer or as Process Development Engineer, knowledge of
this subject is essential. It is also useful for Production Engineer working in
process plant for trouble shooting of problem related to operation of
equipment.
(4) Computer Aided Process Synthesis (3170507):
Rationale: The design-synthesis activities focus
on the practical application of the fundamentals and integrates the
considerations of numerous options to form a complete manufacturing system. The
design engineer needs to know the basics of fluids, heat transfer, separations,
and reactor engineering for selection of the steps as individual operations and
their integration to form an efficient process synthesis. Energy integration is
the most important component of process synthesis for design optimization. Heat
Integration, reactor network, separation trains, batch scheduling are the focus
areas for effective process synthesis. The study of this course will help
students to take their understanding of basic subjects to a new and higher
level.
(5) Nanoscience and Technology (3170509):
Rationale: To provide an idea on the
fundamentals of nanotechnology with a approach towards the synthesis,
characterization and applications of nanomaterials. Nanotechnology is a new and
rapidly emerging branch. It is a field of research and originality related to
creation of new materials and devices. Students will learn the concept of
nanotechnology, different techniques for synthesizing nanomaterials,
characterization of nanomaterials and its applications in different fields.
(6) Process Intensification (3170510):
Rationale: Process intensification is the paths
for development of more sustainable chemical processes. Process intensification
leads to a substantially smaller, cleaner, safer, and more energy efficient
technology. Process intensification concerns engineering methods and equipment
only; development of a new chemical route or a change in composition of a
catalyst is not covered under process intensification. Process intensification
consists of the development of novel apparatuses and techniques to bring
improvements in manufacturing and processing, substantially decreasing
equipment size/production-capacity ratio, energy consumption, or waste
production; ultimately resulting better sustainable technologies. Process
intensifying equipment covers novel reactors, intensive mixers, and
heat-transfer and mass-transfer devices. Process intensifying methods covers
new or hybrid separations, integration of reactions and separations, heat
exchange, phase transition and/or new process-control methods such as
intentional unsteady-state operations.
(7) Transport Phenomena (3170511):
Rationale: This course will highlight coupling
between three transport phenomena with applications in various disciplines in
engineering and science, and will demonstrate to the students the common
mathematical structure of transport problems.
(8) Introduction to Computational
Fluid Dynamics (3170512):
Rationale: The course deals with the numerical
solution of equations governing fluid flow in chemical engineering
applications. In all these fields, one needs to deal extensively with fluid
flow related phenomena and one needs to resolve flow-related features of the
processes and equipment. Although the equations governing fluid flow have been
formulated, it is only in recent years that these are being solved in the
practical applications in which the flow occurs. The course deals with the
basic techniques that enable the numerical solution of these equations.
(9) Process Modelling, Simulation and
Optimization (3170513):
Rationale: The Process Modelling, 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. The subject comprises of three parts: modelling, simulation
and optimization. Modelling and simulation emphasize on the concept of
modelling of chemical engineering processes, parameter 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.
(10) Mechanical Design of Process equipment’s
(3170514):
Rationale: Equipment design involves
modifications and additions to existing plants or creating design layouts of
plant/equipment’s. With rapid rate of increase in the advancement of knowledge,
it is important that the students should know the relevant application for
equipment design. It has been observed conclusively that practice in using the
reference literature and software has helped the students to secure jobs and
also to perform better in profession.
(11) Piping Design (3170515):
Rationale: Piping design and engineering is a
key area in various streams of engineering. Piping and accessories constitute
over 25% of the total capital investment in the chemical process industry,
petroleum and petrochemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, power plants,
and so on. The present course is intended to familiarize undergraduate students
about the fundamental design aspects of piping components and their
applications in process industries.
(12) Process Auxiliaries and
utilities (3170516):
Rationale: Process auxiliaries and utilities
involve the understanding of designing the process plants or creating design
layouts of plant. It also includes the fundamentals of chemical engineering viz.
development of flow diagrams, importance of various design consideration,
various utility systems, and key selection considerations during the
development and design of any process. This subject is intended to familiarize
students with the basics as well as advanced understanding of various process
auxiliaries and utilities used in chemical plant and how they integrate with
the process facilities and overall operation.
