Pharmaceutical Engineering (Theory) is a student-friendly textbook written as per the PCI syllabus for B.Pharm (BP304T/BP307T). It provides a clear understanding of essential unit operations used in pharmaceutical manufacturing.The book covers fluid flow, size reduction and separation, heat transfer, evaporation, distillation, drying, mixing, filtration, centrifugation, materials of plant construction, corrosion prevention, and material handling systems.Each topic is explained with simple language, labelled diagrams, principles, construction, working, merits, demerits, and exam-oriented questions. Designed for easy learning, this book helps pharmacy students grasp engineering concepts and prepares them for both examinations and industrial applications.These books explain how raw materials are converted into finished drugs and excipients through processes including fluid flow (manometers, Reynolds number, Bernoulli’s theorem, flow meters), size reduction and separation (mills, sieves), heat transfer, evaporation, distillation, drying, mixing, filtration, and centrifugation. They also cover materials of pharmaceutical plant construction, corrosion and its prevention, and material handling systems.
