About Book
The Text Book of Pharmaceutical Engineering is a comprehensive guide tailored to provide students and professionals with a thorough understanding of the essential principles and practices within pharmaceutical process engineering. It covers a wide range of foundational topics, beginning with the flow of fluids, where key devices such as manometers, orifice meters, and Venturimeters are discussed alongside critical concepts like Bernoulli’s theorem and Reynolds number. The book then transitions into size reduction, detailing the mechanisms, laws, and machinery including hammer mills, ball mills, and fluid energy mills, with a balanced focus on their construction, uses, and operational advantages and limitations. Following this, it delves into size separation, offering insights into equipment like cyclone separators, sieve shakers, and elutriation tanks, reinforcing practical understanding with theoretical frameworks. The heat transfer section explores conduction, convection, and radiation, backed by Fourier’s law and discussions on heat exchangers. In the evaporation chapter, a variety of evaporators such as climbing film and multiple effect systems are thoroughly analyzed. The section on distillation introduces several forms, from simple to molecular distillation, each elaborated with principles and methodologies. The drying chapter is equally robust, featuring tray dryers, vacuum dryers, and freeze dryers, emphasizing the rate of drying and moisture content dynamics. Mixing is covered with an in-depth look at blending equipment for solids, liquids, and semisolids, highlighting mixers like ribbon blenders and Silverson emulsifiers. The filtration section addresses both theory and practical aspects, focusing on various filters such as plate & frame and rotary drum types. Centrifugation is presented with technical clarity, detailing devices like perforated basket and super centrifuges. The final chapter discusses materials used in pharmaceutical plant construction, alongside an analysis of corrosion, its types, and prevention strategies, encompassing metals and nonmetals. Overall, this textbook stands as a critical resource that bridges theoretical knowledge with real-world pharmaceutical manufacturing applications.
