Introduction:
Chemical engineers are the brains and backbone of the process sector; they are at the forefront of designing and developing goods and processes, working at the cutting edge of technology. Generally speaking, all engineers use physics, math, and engineering art to solve technical issues in a cost-effective and safe manner. Nonetheless, only the chemical engineer uses the rich and potent knowledge of chemistry to address a wide range of issues. Among the scientific and technological domains, chemistry and chemical engineering are distinct due to their robust technical and social bonds.
