PROCESS EQUIPMENT DESIGN

SHABINA KHANAM TYPE OF COURSE : New | Core | UG


Department of Chemical Engineering COURSE DURATION : 12 Weeks (18 Jan' 21 - 09 Apr' 21)
IIT Roorkee EXAM DATE : 24 Apr 2021
PRE-REQUISITES : Basic knowledge of Heat Transfer and Mass transfer
INTENDED AUDIENCE : Undergraduate students of Chemical Engineering. However, this course will also be
helpful for those who have substantial industrial experience while working in chemical processes and
designing process equipment.

INDUSTRIES APPLICABLE TO : Any chemical process plant


COURSE OUTLINE :
Chemical process plants include a number of important equipment such as reactors, distillation columns,
absorbers, heat exchangers, evaporators, crystallizers, etc. Design of such equipment should be carried out a priory
to set-up a process plant and thus, it is the basic step in a chemical process. The present course enables one to
learn about the complete process design of Heat Exchanger, Condenser, Reboiler, Crystallizer,
Evaporator, Packed column and Distillation column. Further, mechanical design of distillation column is also
illustrated in this course.

ABOUT INSTRUCTOR :
The instructor is working as Associate Professor in Chemical Engineering Department of IIT Roorkee. She has
completed B.Tech degree from AMU Aligarh, Aligarh in 2000 and M.Tech and Ph.D. degree from IIT Roorkee in
2002 and 2007, respectively. Her major fields of study are Process Integration, Energy and Mass Conservation
and Modeling and Simulation of Chemical Processes. She has almost 9 years experience in teaching and
research. During this period she has supervised 7 Ph.D. and 24 M.Tech. theses. At present 1 Ph.D and 1 M.Tech
theses are in pipe line. She has published 35 and 29 research papers in different refereed journals and
conferences, respectively. She has taught the proposed course seven times in her 13 years teaching career.
