C. Catalogue description

Chemical Process industries are concerned with the conversion of raw materials into useful
products. This conversion takes place through chemical conversions and physical operations. The
significance of Chemical Process Calculations and applications is well known in the different fields
of Engineering and Technology. The understanding of material and energy balance of processes
with or without chemical reaction is very vital for process design. The equipment design for the
process starts only after the completion of the material and energy balance calculation of the
process. The feasibility of the process can be understood by the calculations. In this course, more
emphasis is given on the units and conversion, basic concept of calculations, behavior of gases,
humidity and saturation, material and energy balance with or without chemical reactions. The
objective of this course is to equip the students to perform analysis of processes through process
calculations and develop in them problem-solving skills.

GUIDELINES

Cell Phones and other Electronic Communication Devices: Cell phones and other electronic
communication devices (such as Blackberries/Laptops) are not permitted in classes during Tests
or the Mid/Final Examination. Such devices MUST be turned off in the class room.
E-Mail and online learning tool: Each student in the class should have an e-mail id and a
password to access the LMS system regularly. Regularly, important information – Date of
conducting class tests, guest lectures, via online learning tool. The best way to arrange meetings
with us or ask specific questions is by email and prior appointment. All the assignments
preferably should be uploaded on online learning tool. Various research papers/reference
material will be mailed/uploaded on online learning platform time to time.

Attendance: Students are required to have minimum attendance of 75% in each subject.
Students with less than said percentage shall NOT be allowed to appear in the end semester
examination.

Course outcome assessment: To assess the fulfilment of course outcomes two different
approaches have been decided. Degree of fulfillment of course outcomes will be assessed in
different ways through direct assessment and indirect assessment. In Direct Assessment, it is
measured through quizzes, tests, assignment, Mid-term and/or End-term examinations. It is
suggested that each examination is designed in such a way that it can address one or two
outcomes (depending upon the course completion). Indirect assessment is done through the
student survey which needs to be designed by the faculty (sample format is given below) and it
shall be conducted towards the end of course completion. The evaluation of the achievement
of the Course Outcomes shall be done by analyzing the inputs received through Direct and
Indirect Assessments and then corrective actions suggested for further improvement.

Passing criterion:

• For UG-Students: Scoring less than 35 absolute marks in individual course either in
end semester examination or as composite score shall be awarded as ‘F’

• For PG-Students: Scoring less than 40 absolute marks in individual course either in
end semester examination or as composite score shall be awarded as ‘F’

• For UG & PG: Students scoring 85 marks and above as composite score (IA+MS+ES)
shall be awarded as the highest grade as ‘O’ i.e., Outstanding (on 10 point Scale) and
‘A’ i.e., Outstanding (on 4 point Scale)
