Momentum Transfer in Process Engineering

ABOUT THE COURSE

This course will cover basics of momentum transfer required in any processing industries. The basic knowledge of momentum transfer is intermingled with most of the unit operations at some or other stage of processing. Since, this basic aspect of transfer process is not taught in most of the engineering institutions elaborately, a comprehension of the this aspect of transfer process will enrich the knowledge base of the students in general.

INTENDED AUDIENCE
Agricultural Engineering, Food Technology, Food Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering

PRE-REQUISITES 
Not required

INDUSTRY SUPPORT – LIST OF COMPANIES/INDUSTRY THAT WILL RECOGNIZE/VALUE THIS ONLINE COURSE
Any Processing Industry such as Hindustan Lever, ITC, Britannia etc.

612 students have enrolled already!!

COURSE INSTRUCTOR 


Prof. Tridib Kumar Goswami, a NAAS, ISAE, IE, AABS Fellow, did his B.Sc. in Chemistry (Hons) from University of Calcutta, B.Tech. in Food Technology and Biochemical Engineering from Jadavpur University, Ph.D. from IIT Kharagpur. After serving Kwality Ice Cream, Bombay for 1½ years, he joined IIT Kharagpur in 1989 and is still continuing as a Professor. He has earned 5 Indian Patents, published 104 papers in peer reviewed reputed journals, 55 conference proceedings. He has written 4 books and 11 book chapters published by International publishers. He has travelled around the world for presenting papers and was specially invited by Jeonbuk National University,  Korea with full sponsorship in 2009. He has guided 11 Ph.D., out of which 3 theses have been awarded the prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru Award offered by ICAR. One of his papers was awarded the prestigious N.N. Mohan Memorial Award for 2009 conferred by AIFPA, New Delhi for Best Paper of the year. He has also received several National and International awards. He has completed several sponsored research & consultancy projects as PI and co-PI. He is the first faculty from Agricultural Engineering discipline in India to contribute to the National program on technology enhanced learning.
