OBJECTIVE:

• This course would expose the students how to develop process alternatives, how to generate them and how to quickly screen the alternatives.

UNIT I	INTRODUCTION	9

The Hierarchy of Chemical process Design- Overall process Design, approaches to design.

UNIT II	CHOICE OF REACTORS AND SEPARATOR	9

Reaction path, reactor performance, practical reactors, Separation of Heterogeneous mixtures, homogeneous fluid mixtures.

UNIT III	SYNTHESIS OF REACTION – SEPARATION SYSTEMS	9

Process recycle, Batch processes, process yield

UNIT IV	DISTILLATION SEQUENCING	9

Using simple columns, using columns with more than two products, Distillation Sequencing Using thermal coupling.

UNIT V	HEAT EXCHANGER NETWORK & UTILITIES –ENERGY TARGETS	9

Heat recovery pinch, The Problem table Algorithm, Utilities Selection, Energy targets capital& total Cost targets -Number of Heat Exchanger Units, Area Targets, Number of Shells Targets, Capital Cost Targets, Total Cost Targets.

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS

OUTCOME:

• At the end of this course, the students will have learned how to solve large, open-ended under defined design problems of realistic complexity.
