EI3652 Introduction to Industrial Processes, Measurement and Control Syllabus:
EI3652 Introduction to Industrial Processes, Measurement and Control Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
To introduce common unit operations carried out in process industries.
To impact knowledge about the important unit operations taking place in process industries.
To prepare them to take up a case study on selected process industries like petrochemical industry, power plant industry and paper & pulp industry to make the students understand the different measurement and control techniques for important processes.
Facilitate the students to apply knowledge to select appropriate measurement technique and control strategy for a given process.
UNIT I COMMON UNIT OPERATIONS IN PROCESS INDUSTRIES -I
Unit Operation, Measurement and Control:-Transport of solid, liquid and gases – Evaporators – Crystallizers-Dryers.
UNIT II COMMON UNIT OPERATIONS IN PROCESS INDUSTRIES -II
