Oral Examination ----- --
Term Work ---- 25
Total --- 25
Detailed Syllabus:
1. Each one of the students will be assigned a Seminar Topic in the current
and frontier areas of Chemical Engineering Research or Practice. The
student has to conduct a detailed study/survey of the material available on
the assigned topic and prepare a report, running to 30 to 40 pages. The
student will make an oral presentation for a period of about 20 Minutes,
followed by a brief question and answer session. The Seminar
(Presentation and Report) will be evaluated by the panel of Two Internal
Examiners for a total of 10 marks.
2. The Project Guide will guide the Seminar and the student will make
monthly progress reports to the guide, which will be considered for term
work grading of 15 marks.

8.6 Project-B

Tutorials --
Hours Marks
Term Work ---- 50
Total --- 100
Detailed Syllabus:
1. The topic and team for the project will be continued from semester VII. In case of
more than one student being in the team, the topic will be subdivided in such a
way that each of the student will have at least one distinct sub task for which that
team member will be solely responsible and on the performance of which he will
be graded.
2. Each student group will prepare a detailed, typed project report containing a
maximum of 100 pages A4 size, inclusive of index, abstract, illustrations, charts,
P and ID and other diagrams, flow sheets, photographs, etc. The report will
contain a brief summary of the earlier report submitted at the end of semester VII.
3. A) In case of a project involving the design of a process system leading to

a product, the
report will include:

 Material and Energy balances
 Detailed process design and HAZOP of one major equipment per student/
process
 P and ID/ Flow diagram
 Cost and feasibility Analysis
B) In case of project involving experimentation, the report will list all the
experimental data, analysis of data, conclusions drawn and discussion on how the
conclusions are supported by the experimental data and its analysis.
Some discussion on the utility of the work done for design of a full-scale plant/
possibility of scale up should be presented.
C) In case of a project consisting of developing a process system leading to a

service, the project report will enunciate the objective, details of specifications/
recommendations, adequacy of the proposed system, methods to check the
adequacy performance, comparison vis-à-vis existing systems should be
discussed.
Term Work:
1. The student will make monthly progress reports to the guide, which will be
considered for term work grading. An oral presentation to peers and a panel of
senior faculty towards the end of the term is a must. The oral presentation shall
carry 40 % of the marks allocated for term work.
2. The project orals will be conducted as per rules, by an internal examiner and
external examiner from industry or academia, and would be based on the final
project report.
