Pharmaceutical engineering, as a discipline, plays a pivotal role in this evolution by integrating
principles of chemical engineering, biology, materials science, and regulatory compliance to design,
develop, and manufacture life-saving medications. It involves different set of experiments with
industrial applications for pre development and post development of formulations. The applications
of different unit operations in pharmaceutical engineering like evaporation, drying, heat transfer,
fluid flow, filtration etc. plays crucial role for product development. In accordance with syllabus to
fulfill the need of students the textbook has been written. .
Features
Ÿ The primary objective of this book is to provide a comprehensive guide to the foundational and
advanced concepts of pharmaceutical engineering.
Ÿ The book is designed to serve as a valuable resource for students, researchers, and
professionals in the field, offering insights into the complex processes and technologies that
underpin the pharmaceutical industry.
Ÿ Each practical has been divided in to principal, theory involved with experiment, complete
procedure, short answer questions and multiple choice questions. This will definitily bridge
theoretical knowledge with practical applications, with deep understanding.
