The course is designed based on the accumulated knowledge and experience over the years. It aims to impart the required industry-oriented skillset to the Learners to make them ready for
engagement in Industries like Oil & Gas, Petroleum Refineries, Petrochemical and other Processes. This course is a good blend of a recap of Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass transfer concepts, Conduction, Convection, and their relevant practical applications. It includes thermal design of Shell & Tube heat exchangers based on TEMA standards along with good industry practices as well as those for Condensers, Evaporators, Reboilers, Air-cooled and Plate type heat exchangers. It also includes the detail design of Distillation Columns under different operating conditions. This course is further enriched with the inclusion of the Mechanical Design of Process Equipment and the Simulation of Chemical Processes using the software. Several case studies and working examples are included to bring the real industry flavour to the course. It provides essential as well as enhanced practical domain knowledge along with the software skillset under one umbrella that is expected to transform the Learner’s perception towards engineering and exposes him/her to areas that would strengthen the technical confidence to excel in the field of Process plant related engineering.
