Final Year Chemical Process Design

The document provides information about the Chemical Process Design & Simulation course offered at Quaid-Awam University of Engineering Science & Technology Nawabshah. The course is offered in the 8th semester to chemical engineering students. It aims to teach the principles of process design and the application of simulation tools to synthesize flow sheets for chemical processes. The course outline covers topics like process synthesis strategies, pinch design methods, reactor network design, and the use of software like HYSYS and ASPEN to develop process flow diagrams and evaluate processes economically. The lab component involves introducing students to design and simulation software to draw process flow diagrams, perform material and energy balances, and develop simple flow sheets.
