Course Title : Product and Process Design Principles - II
Instructor-in-charge : Dr. Srinivas Krishnaswamy
Instructor (Lectures/Tutorial) : Dr. Srinivas Krishnaswamy / Pragya Singh

1. COURSE DESCRIPTION

Review of process synthesis, Design and sizing of equipment of heat exchangers,

separation towers, pumps etc. Cost accounting and capital cost estimation, Annual
costs, earnings and profitability analysis,

2. SCOPE AND OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE

The course aims to continue further on the concepts learned in PDP – 1 which
describe to students modern strategies involved in the design of chemical processes
with emphasis on systemic approach. In part – 2 of the 2 Semester course, students
will be exposed to equipment design aspects and economic decisions that challenge
design teams.
