Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer

(3-0-0-6)

This course encompasses thermodynamics and heat transfer. Thermodynamics is primarily concerned with the application to phase and reaction equilibria in multi-component systems. Its application includes heat-to-work and work-to-heat conversion devices. Thermodynamic properties of non-ideal solutions, vaporliquid and liquidliquid equilibria are covered in this course. Heat Transfer deals with the flow of heat via three common modes, viz. conduction, convection and radiation. The principles behind these modes and their applications to chemical engineering problems are covered.
Course contents:

Thermodynamic systems; thermodynamic laws; equations of state; reversible and irreversible processes; entropy; application of first and second laws; Gibbs and Helmholtz free energies; Maxwell relations; chemical potential and criteria of equilibrium; vapour liquid equilibrium.

Preamble:

Process Engineering

(3-0-0-6)

The vast subject of process engineering involves the analysis, design and operation of chemical and biochemical processes. While other undergraduate subjects in chemical engineering addresses the engineering aspects associated to either unit processes or unit operations, process engineering attempts to assimilate the principles involved in these functional operations to evolve towards a mature understanding of the process along with its efficacy. This course broadly outlines two functional features of process engineering, namely, conceptual design and analysis of chemical processes with special reference to process flow-sheeting and application of control theory principles in order to relate the dependence of dependent variables on independent variables associated to a process. Course contents: Process flow-sheeting; PFD and P&ID, documents and symbols; outlines of unit operations and unit processes; sizing and costing of process equipment; first principles model development; degrees of freedom; linearization of nonlinear process; dynamics of first order and second order linear systems; stability analysis of open loop process; frequency response analysis; Bode and Nyquist stability criterion; design of feedback controller P, PI and PID.
