The Department of Chemical and Energy Engineering offers BE Chemical Engineering program. Starting Fall 2021, the department is introducing Master of Science (MS) program in “Environmental, Process and Energy Engineering” and Master of Science (MS) program in “Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Engineering”.
Guided by foreign qualified faculty with engineering work experiences from industry-leading companies such as Paki American Fertilizer, Marri Petroleum Company, Lucky Cement, Rafhan Maize, and doctorates from Imperial College London (UK), INHA University (Korea), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Wuhan University of Technology (China) and Otto Von Guericke University (Germany), chemical engineering students benefit from a truly exceptional experience. The department faculty makes sure that students obtain the skills and preparation that are needed to be successful in their future professional and academic careers. Students will typically have multiple work experiences through professional internships or Co-ops before they graduate. In addition, students are exposed to numerous plant trips, professional and academic speakers, and have research mentors.
Moreover, the presence of state-of-the-art labs, ample learning resources, and smart lecture theatres, make our environment more conducive to quality education of a very high order. The classrooms are virtually linked to facilitate lectures and seminars by foreign faculty from international partner universities. Selected students will be able to spend their final year at our partner institute Management Centre Innsbruck (MCI), Austria. After approval from the accreditation bodies of Pakistan and partner university in Austria, students will be awarded dual degrees, one from PAF-IAST Pakistan and the other from MCI Austria. We have plans to start more in-demand programs at Bachelors, MS, and PhD levels in near future.
In Organic & organic chemistry lab, students will become familiar with the basic skills, techniques, and apparatus in chemistry. The experiments related to spectroscopy, chromatography, organic chemical reactions, salt analysis, elemental analysis and catalysis will be demonstrated and conducted.
In analytical and physical chemistry lab introduces students to physical and analytical chemistry techniques. The application of principles learned in class is reinforced by performing experiments in the lab. The students will be enlightened and educated to broad range of basic analytical and other techniques used in chemistry and chemical engineering.
Equipment List:
In chemical industries, various operations are assisted with heat addition and rejection by using a variety of heat exchangers and reactors whose performance is highly affected through heat transfer. Therefore, heat transfer lab is designed to familiarize the students with the various modes of heat transfer by applying its fundamentals through equipment.
Equipment List:
In fluid mechanics lab, fluids, and their flow behaviours are studied and observed. Pressure variations are calculated through gauges for compressible fluids when they flow through convergent-divergent nozzles. Various theoretical demonstrations of different laws of fluid mechanics are checked through lab equipment.
Equipment List:
In the thermodynamics lab, equipment is related to the basic laws and applications of thermodynamics like boiler, refrigeration unit, Joule-Thomson apparatus, and Boyle`s law apparatus. This lab not only allows students to have a thorough understanding of these principles but also develops the basic requirement of a chemical engineer, i.e., to cope with the wide variety of problems such as calculation of heat and work requirement of physical and chemical processes.
Equipment List:
This laboratory supports basic courses in machine tools and machining at the undergraduate level. The experiments to be performed in the laboratory are designed in such a way as to reinforce understanding of the basic principles and practical skills needed by students to visualize various phenomena encountered in different applications. The questions provided at the end of each experiment reinforce the students’ understanding, besides preparing them for viva-voce exams.
Equipment List:
Chemical process technology lab provides hands-on experience for industrial/ semi-industrial equipment. CPT lab is mainly focused on process and plant design, scale-up, etc. The students will utilize diverse scientific concepts from different subjects in one assignment/project, for instance, analytical chemistry, thermodynamics, heat and mass balances, unit operations, kinetics, process control, uncertainty calculations, sampling techniques, safety, and environmental aspects.
Equipment List:
The lab facility helps to design, simulate, and optimize different chemical engineering processes. ANSYS Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Software used to predict the impact of fluid flows under different conditions during operations. HyperChem is also used for building new molecules, predicting their molecular mechanics and dynamics. ASPEN Engineering Suite (AES) is extensively used for designing Chemical Process Industries, optimization of existing and new process industries, economic evaluations, and feasibility studies of process industries. There are 50 workstations at the simulation laboratory.
Electrical Engineering Lab aims to provide basic knowledge of electrical equipment and skills to undergraduate students through various experiments. This lab is focused on the fundamentals of circuit analysis, voltage, current, sources, and Ohm’s law to resolve complex electric circuits. Also gives the
PAF-IAST PROSPECTUS 2020 43 solutions for resistive circuits followed by complex elements, e.g., capacitors, inductors and operational amplifiers, circuits with DC sources, and circuits with sinusoidal sources
Physics Lab is equipped to serve the primary purpose of giving experimental training in classical and modern physics to undergraduate students of engineering. Demonstration kits/apparatus are available in the laboratory to illustrate physics principles.
