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

Preamble: Students, researchers, and engineers want to analyze the experimental data in a
scientific and rigorous manner and communicate the outcomes in reports, theses, or publications in
an unambiguous manner. From a basic knowledge in calculus, linear algebra and probability and
statistics the course enables the participants to acquire knowledge and skills in statistical data
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.

FERTILIZERS PEC 2 1 0 3
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.

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