Practical Book Of Pharmaceutical Engineering

This book having title "A Practical Book of Pharmaceutical Engineering" (As Per PCI Regulations).

The idea of the book initiated by students as it is difficult to conduct the experiments without practical manual. So we thought to bring a collective database for experiment.

This book is designed to impart a fundamental knowledge on the art and science of various unit operations used in pharmaceutical industry.

This book mainly aims in guiding the professor and students regarding the fundamental principles of Pharmaceutical Engineering. This book also helps the students in overcoming the obstacles faced by them in practical aspects of Pharmaceutical Engineering.
