This course aims to serve as an introduction to the principles and techniques used to the chemical engineering. This course will cover all material and energy balance related topics that will build the foundation of specific skills and information that are required for successful undergraduate study of chemical engineering. Student will be given assignment time to time and They may be also asked to solve some problem on the board to see whether they did the assignment problem themselves or copied from someone else. Student’s assessment will be based on his/her performance in the quizzes, exams and home assignments. Students will also be judged based on their involvement in the discussion during the class.

Course Summary This course supplements the understanding of fluid flow/ heat transfer problems achieved during the undergraduate Fluid Mechanics (FM) and Heat Transfer (HT) course through live examples. This lab course involves performing the experiments utilising the taught principles. Course Aims To enable students to relate and develop their understanding of theoretical concepts taught in the lectures through the respective experiments. Learning Outcomes On successful completion of the course, the students will: 1. have an improved understanding of the principles of FM and HT; 2. learn how to conduct an experiment for fluid flow and heat exchange related problems; 3. apply basic principles to solve real life problem based on FM and HT; 4. be able to record experimental data, interpret and represent conclusive findings; and 4. be able to design simple experimental setups.

1. COURSE SUMMARY This course focuses on providing the students with an overview of the Natural Gas (NG) sector. NG finds immense usage in domestic, transportation, fertilizers & other industrial sectors. Accordingly, this course incorporates two modules. The first module will be on City Gas Distribution (CGD), entailing the construction, operation, and maintenance of natural gas distribution systems for the supply of piped natural gas to industrial, domestic, commercial and transportation sectors. The likely voluminous growth of CGD infrastructure requires competent professionals and skilled workforce to execute the projects successfully. Thus, there is a need to identify the gaps in knowledge and develop the skill set required for professionals to groom them for such domains. This in turn, will pave the way for establishing strong energy network within the country. The second module will entail the need and usage of an important product known as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). LNG is a highly specialized area in energy, process, and infrastructure industries. Current statistics show that half of the total NG consumed in the country is imported as LNG through ships, and is then re-gasified to feed the NG supply lines. Interestingly, the LNG industry is transitioning from its nascent stage to a grown and matured market in India, and will eventually help in making India as an energy secure nation. 2. COURSE AIMS This preliminary exposure should enable the students to appreciate the principles of occurrence, discovery and production of fluid hydrocarbons. The course aims at orienting the students to: (a) become a better suited candidate for employment in industries, especially the hydrocarbon sector and CGD (project execution, transportation and marketing, operation and maintenance, and allied areas of supervising roles); (b) to have an enriching interaction with industry experts in the form of courseware, experience sharing and case study; and (c) develop successful academic careers in hydrocarbon sector in engineering domains and find avenues of research in natural gas and allied sectors. 3. LEARNING OUTCOMES After successful completion of this course, a student should be able to: (a) apply for engineering/ managerial positions in oil and gas sector companies with an added advantage of having the exposure to such customised course curriculum; (b) exposure to acquire skill sets to handle projects/ design aspects / operations & maintenance relating to distribution of pressurised/ compressed/ liquefied natural gas; (c) understand literature of scientific practices relating to natural gas sector and petroleum industry and investigate research problems; and (d) carry out advanced assignments and projects at the industry/ university level in view of the societal importance of the energy sector. 4. CURRICULUM CONTENT The curriculum has two modules. The first module focusses on City Gas Distribution (GGD), and the second module focusses on the Liquefied Natural Gas. A topic wise list is below: i. Introduction – Energy sector overview – Natural gas (value chain, verticals, and commercial aspects) ii. City Gas Distribution (CGD) & Compressed Natural Gas (CNG): Technology & operations – Global perspective versus India's position – Environmental perspectives – Industry structure and government policies – Project development and execution – Design fundamentals – Asset integrity management – Operation, maintenance, and safety iii. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) – Global perspective versus India's position – Environmental perspectives – Gas value chain – Technology and process operations – Marine and non-marine facilities – Terminal operations and regasification – Trade and business 5. TEACHING AND LEARNING STRATEGY The course will primarily entail discussions and case studies explained by MS PowerPoint presentations. The presentations will be uploaded to SNU Blackboard Learn+ platform before the class, so that the students access it and come prepared with questions. Certain case studies will also involve demonstration of concepts by videos. Additional reading material will also be uploaded for the students to reinforce the concepts taught in the class. Depending on available time and convenience, on-site visits may be arranged to visualise practical aspects of the theoretical lectures.
