By: Sambamurthy, K.
Publisher: New Delhi New Age 1998Edition: 1st.Description: 487, 24*18.3 Pages | Binding - Paperback |.ISBN: 81-224-1169-x.Subject(s): PHARMACEUTICAL ENGINEERING | ALLIED SUBJECTS (SOP)DDC classification: 620.615 Summary: It is well known that the applications of unit operations like Heat Transfer, Evaporation, Extraction, Mixing, Filtration and a host of others are quite common in the pharmaceutical Industry, be it in the production of synthetic drugs, biological and microbiological products or in the manufacture of pharmaceutical formulations. As such anyone who is to look after these manufacturing operations must be quite knowledgeable with the theoretical and equipment aspects involved in the relevant unit operations. Since a major involvement of the pharmacy graduates lies in the numerous manufacturing operations mentioned above, it is very much necessary that the subject is taught with a pharmacy orientation. There is no book so far which has achieved this. The existing books on Unit Operations give extensive theory and also deal with a lot of equipment not employed in the pharmaceutical industry. Due to a lack of a pharmacy-oriented book in this area, the students and the teachers are facing difficulties in many ways. The present book is the first one of its kind on Pharmaceutical Engineering. The special features of this book are as follows: It includes theoretical and equipment aspects relevant to the pharmaceutical industry and that too to the extent needed for pharmacy graduates and examples from pharmaceutical industry are quoted extensively; solutions to a number of simpler numerical problems are given. At the end of each chapter, a large number of questions, both theoretical and numerical, are given. There is therefore no doubt that the book will be of great use not only to the students but also to the teachers in the subject in India and abroad as well.
