Chemical Engineering

Institute of Chemical Technology at Mumbai is the most premier institute in this field of studies. It began its operations in the year 1933 and today is a publicly funded Deemed to be university doing immense research in the field of chemical Technology as well as Pharmaceuticals. The admissions at the undergraduate level are done centrally through the Government of Maharashtra department of technical education which conducts an exam called MH-CET for entry into different engineering colleges across the stat. 30% seats of the institute are reserved for all India quota and these are filled up through the merit list of JEE Mains. So you have to decide whether you have domicile of Maharashtra or not and depending on this you can choose MH-CET or JEE Mains which will grant you admission into this premier Institute.

Yes, of course. Firstly, the propellants and fuel which drives the rockets and spaceships towards outer space is very much dependent on the research conducted by Chemical Engineers. Especially, the Liquid Nitrogen used has to be refrigerated and properly stored by the chemical technologists and researchers. For getting more information, go to this link Liquid nitrogen. Secondly, the Thermodynamics involved with the turbines, propellers and the fuel engines used in the rockets has to be implemented as experiments conducted by the Chemical Engineers. The Heat dissipation system, the nozzles, the finance, all has to be installed as per the instructions of the Chief Chemical Engineers of the particular mission. Thirdly, the materials and machine parts which has to be in the construction of a particular missile or spaceship has to be in accordance with the materials designed by the chemical engineers, technologists and the Material Design section team. Please see this Materials Science.
Fourthly, many successful and influential members of ISRO has a degree in Chemical Engineering. For eg- Mr. M. Chandradathan, Distinguished Scientist and hitherto Director, SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota - See more at: New Directors Appointed for Three ISRO Centres, and many being distinguished members of chemical institutions. Finally, the most significant contribution is the development of Hydrogen-oxygen Fuel Cell by Francis Thomas Bacon in 1959. It was extensively used in the Apollo space programme for fueling the spaceship and also adding to the pure water supply for the sustenance of the Spaceship.
