Chemical Engineering

Department

Chemical Engineering with its application in almost all the technological advances, be it for human welfare, or mission to Mars is one of the most sought as discipline of the day.Chemical Engineering is the evaluation, design and operation of machinery and methods for the economical conversion of matter to more desirable and useful forms on an Industrial scale.

This rather formidable definition means, that Chemical Engineering using Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Economics as basic tools, design and assembles operating units to do one of two basic things (1) subject moleculesto treatments that will change them into molecules of new kinds (2) separate the molecules of an original mixture toyield fractions of great utility. As an example of the first, cool air and water are actually transmitted into nylon. Thesecond example is separation of crude petroleum into gasoline, kerosene, lubricating oil and many other products.

It is absolutely essential that the Chemical Engineer has sound comprehensive knowledge of Chemistry. However to accomplish the task previously described, he must concern himself intensively with the engineering, science and technology of fluid flow. Heat transfer, evaporation, distillation, extraction., absorption, size conditioning and many other unit operations all of which are approached primarily through Physics and Mathematics. Broadly speaking there are five types of activity for Chemical Engineers, Research, Design, Operation, Sales and Management.

The Chemical Engineer is concerned with economics and human as well as technical relations and often matures as an executive utilizing his scientific training and professional experience to direct industrial enterprises. Since the horizons of the Chemical Industry are broadening rapidly, the opportunities in this field are several, the courses taught are designed to take care of all the above together with problems and requirements. To keep the students upto-date in recent advances in Biochemical, energy and environmental engineering together with plastic and polymer sciences, courses covering these fields have been introduced in third and fourth year classes.

The local industry, and its opportunities in these fields would open new chances for graduates to contribute in the national development.At present the Chemical Engineering Department has Laboratory facilities in unit operation, fluid flow, Fuel testing, Petroleum technology, Petro-chemical, Bio-Chemical, Reaction Eng & control The facilities of the chemistry laboratories are also available for practicals in Chemical process technology, unit process and chemistry. Industrial training is part of the education programme of the department and students are sent every year to various industries for practical training and visits.
