Course No. : CHE F314 Course Title : Process Design Principles I Instructor-in-Charge SURESH GUPTA Instructor (Tutorials) + HK Mohanta, Smita Raghuvanshi, Anil Kumar K Course Description Process invention using heuristics and analysis (The Design process, Process creation and heuristics for process synthesis, Role of process simulators like Aspen Plus in process creation), Strategic designs in process synthesis and analysis, Detailed process synthesis using algorithmic methods with emphasis on reactor networks, separation trains, batch processes, heat and mass integration, energy integration analysis; pinch technology. Scope & Objective This course introduces the student to the strategy of process engineering and provides an insight into various aspects of process design. This course mainly deals with the process synthesis part of process design. It covers in detail the preliminary process synthesis, developing base case design and use of heuristics for choosing the best from various process alternatives. ‘Text Books Tl Warren D. Seider, J.
