Student’s Diary/ Daily Log: The main purpose of writing daily diary is to cultivate the habit of
documenting and to encourage the students to search for details. It develops the students’ thought
process and reasoning abilities. The students should record in the daily/weekly activity diary the
day to day account of the observations, impressions, information gathered and suggestions given,
if any. It should contain the sketches & drawings related to the observations made by the students.
The daily/weekly activity diary shall be signed after every day/week by the guide. (7)

SIMULATION PEC 2 1 0 3

Preamble: In chemical engineering, modelling and simulation are important tools for engineers and
scientists to have better understanding about the behaviour of chemical processes and plants.
Modelling and simulation are very useful to design, scale up and optimize pieces of equipment and
chemical plants, for process control, for troubleshooting, for operational fault detection, for training
of operators and engineers, for costing and operational planning, etc. A very important characteristic
of modelling and simulation is its advantageous cost–benefit ratio because with a virtual chemical
plant, obtained from the modelling and simulation, it is possible to predict different scenarios of
operations and to test many layouts at almost no cost and in a safe way.

Basic prerequisites for the model are chemical and physical properties of pure components and
mixtures, reaction kinetics and basic conservation laws and empirical equations. Process simulation
describes processes in flow diagrams where unit operations are positioned and connected by-
product streams. It solves the mass and energy balance to find a stable operating point on specified
parameters.

Prerequisite: Basic principles of chemical engineering, Calculus

Course Outcomes: After the completion of the course the student will be able to:

CO 1 Identify the concept of modelling and simulation of chemical engineering systems

Describe the important physical phenomena and develop model equations for the given
CO 2
system.

CO 3 Demonstrate the model developing ability for various reactors and separation systems.

CO 4 Demonstrate the model developing ability for distributed systems.


CO 5 Develop the skill to simulate chemical engineering systems and processes.

analysis and design of experiments. The course will introduce essential tools for data analysis by
discussions on popular probability distributions, the concept of random samples, linear regression,
and hypothesis testing. In the topic of design of experiments the course is planned to provide an
overview of factorial design, orthogonal designs, higher order designs and guidelines for selecting
the most appropriate design for an experiment.

Evaluation by the Guide
The guide/supervisor must monitor the progress being carried out by the project groups on
regular basis. In case it is found that progress is unsatisfactory it should be reported to the
Department Evaluation Committee for necessary action. The presence of each student in the
group and their involvement in all stages of execution of the project shall be ensured by the
guide. Project evaluation by the guide: 30 Marks. This mark shall be awarded to the students in
his/her group by considering the following aspects:

Project Scheduling & Distribution of Work among Team members: Detailed and extensive
Scheduling with timelines provided for each phase of project. Work breakdown structure well
defined. (5)

Literature survey: Outstanding investigation in all aspects. (4)

Student’s Diary/ Daily Log: The main purpose of writing daily diary is to cultivate the habit of
documenting and to encourage the students to search for details. It develops the students’ thought
process and reasoning abilities. The students should record in the daily/weekly activity diary the
day to day account of the observations, impressions, information gathered and suggestions given,
if any. It should contain the sketches & drawings related to the observations made by the
students. The daily/weekly activity diary shall be signed after every day/week by the guide. (7)

Individual Contribution: The contribution of each student at various stages. (9)

Completion of the project: The students should demonstrate the project to their respective
guide. The guide shall verify the results and see that the objectives are met. (5)

Preamble: The scope for Petrochemical Engineers is tending to grow in future due to industry
expansion and the related scarcity of resources needed. The various chapters of petrochemical
technology like C1, C2, C3, C4 fractions and Aromatics etc, provide the complete sketch about the
processes in all petrochemical complexes, also provides the processing of raw materials for various
commercial products based on crude petroleum. Indian economy is dominated by agriculture sector.
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,
Phosphatic, Potash and Bio fertilizers is essential. This course is designed to achieve these
objectives.

Prerequisite: Nil

Course Outcomes: After the completion of the course the student will be able to:

CO 1 Describe the manufacturing process for C1 and C2 compounds.


CO 2 Describe the manufacturing process for C3 and C4 compounds.

CO 3 Explain the manufacturing process for Aromatic Compounds and characterize


fertilizers on the basis of different properties.
CO 4 Describe the relevant manufacturing process for Nitrogenous fertilizers.

CO 5 Explain the relevant manufacturing process for potassic and miscellaneous


fertilizers.

Preamble: Total quality management describes a management approach to long-term success


through customer satisfaction. In a TQM effort, all members of an organization participate in
improving processes, products, services, and the culture in which they work. It uses strategy,
data, and effective communications to integrate the quality discipline into the culture and
activities of the organization. This course focuses on familiarising the TQM principles, tools and
need for various quality systems to ensure the quality of products and processes.

CHT478 FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGY
PEC 2 1 0 3

Preamble: One of the most critical challenges facing the world is the development of clean,
reliable, and efficient energy conversion processes. Because the standard of living of virtually
all nations is directly related to per capita energy consumption, the demand for energy will
inevitably increase. One of the most promising near-term technologies are those based on fuel
cells, which convert chemical energy into electrical energy with higher efficiencies and far
fewer environmental effects than other options. This course is intended to provide an insight
into the fuel cell and focuses on developments made in the area and the challenges facing in its
wide practical applications. The course also brings an overview on future prospects in the
development and application of fuel cell.

Prerequisite: Thermodynamics, Reaction Engineering, Mass Transfer Operations

Course Outcomes: After the completion of the course the student will be able to:

CO 1 Explain the fundamentals of electrochemistry, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and


heat and mass transfer, components of fuel cells and fuel cell systems.
CO 2 Illustrate various types of fuel cells and compare it with conventional systems.
CO 3 Explain the significance of fuel cell technology in the new global energy scenario.
CO 4 Design and explain fuel cell stack and fuel cell systems.

CO 5 Distinguish the expectances of hydrogen as a fuel and energy vector in the context of
renewable energy.
