For example: mixing, separating solids and liquid, separating mixtures from fluids, size separation of solid particles, or transport of a fluid. The number of the most important and basic Unit Operations is not very large and are governed by the fundamental laws of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and mechanics, which provide an approximate description of the real processes. The ‘Unit Operations’ concept allows for the analysis of unit operations in terms of fundamental principles such as mass and energy balances, phase equilibria, and transport of momentum, energy and mass. In this course we examine a systematic way of approaching design and selection of process equipment.
