Type of course: Core Engineering

Prerequisite: Process Instrumentation, Process Loop Components, Control System Design

Rationale: In the process industries like petrochemical, chemical, cement, textile, power plant, pulp & paper, certain sub-processes are part of the main process stream. For continuous production, it is very much important to know the dynamic behavior of such process units and their control. The content of this subject focuses on such sub-processes and it’s control.

Note: This specification table shall be treated as a general guideline for students and teachers. The actual distribution of marks in the question paper may vary slightly from above table.

Course Outcome: After learning the course the students will be able to

a) Recognize unit operations and effect of other parameters on them.

b) Evaluate instrumentation and control related with the unit operations.

c) Identify unit operations used in different industries.

Active Learning Assignments:

Preparation of power-point slides, which include videos, animations, pictures, graphics for better understanding theory and practical work – The faculty will allocate chapters/ parts of chapters to groups of students so that the entire syllabus to be covered. The power-point slides should be put up on the web-site of the College/ Institute, along with the names of the students of the group, the name of the faculty, Department and College on the first slide. The best three works should submit to GTU.

Open Ended Problem:

Try to obtain the mathematical mode of Tubular heat exchanger with theoretical background and chemical/mechanical engineering. Propose a control strategy for the heat exchanger. Also discuss various issues in control of the heat exchanger.

Major Equipment:

Computers, simulation software, multi loop/ single loop control system, etc.
