The Practical Topics in the first year Diploma in Chemical Engineering syllabus are given below:

• Introduction to Physical Quantities and Units
• Measurement of frictional coefficient
• Verify triangle and parallelogram law of forces

Diploma in Chemical Engineering Second Year Practical Subjects

The Practical Subjects in the 2nd-Year Diploma in Chemical Engineering syllabus are given below: 

• Preparation of standard solution of oxalic acid or potassium permanganate
• Determination of the conductivity of a given water sample
• Find the coefficient of linear expansion of the material of a rod

• Determination of viscosity of a solution using Ostwald viscometer
• Gravimetric estimation of moisture in a given coal sample

• Process Engineering - Process Engineering involves creating the procedures that convert raw materials into chemicals, pharmaceuticals, gasoline, polymers, cosmetics, and other goods. The engineers use their understanding of chemistry and physics to design and test the necessary procedures, apparatus, and equipment.
• Plant Design - Plant design is a complex process including several technical disciplines, human resources, and capital studies. Economic assessments, logistical studies, and plant site studies are equally as significant as engineering studies and theoretical calculations in chemical plant design.
• Transport Phenomena - Transport Phenomena is the topic that deals with the movement of various physical quantities in any chemical or mechanical process and defines the fundamental principles and rules of transportation. It also illustrates the relationships and similarities between various modes of transportation that may exist in any system. There are three forms of transport in a chemical or mechanical process:
• Momentum transport - It is commonly known as fluid dynamics, and is concerned with the movement of momentum in fluids.
• Energy transport- It is often known as heat transfer, and is concerned with the transit of various kinds of energy within a system.
• Mass transport - It is concerned with the transportation of diverse chemical species.
• Process Design - Chemical process design entails developing a manufacturing process capable of producing a chemical or related product in an efficient and safe manner. There are various stages to process design, including conceptual design, process development, detailed design, construction, and operation.
