Classification of Unit Operation Flashcards
Fluid Flow
concerns the principles that determines the flow or transportations of any fluid from one point to the other
Heat Transfer
Deals with the principles that governs heat, mass, and energy transfer from one place to the other
Evaporation
Deals with the principles of latent heat of vaporization of volatile solvents such as water from a nonvoltile solutes
Drying
Removing volatile liquids usually water from solid materials
Distillation
Operation by components of liquid mixture separated by boiling because of difference in vapor pressure
Membrane separation
process involves the separation of a solute from a fluid by diffusion through a semi-permeable membrane barrier to another fluid
Liquid-Liquid Extraction
Process where a solute in one liquid solution is removed by contacting with another liquid solvent which is relatively immiscible with the solution
Crystallization
The removal of solutes from a solution by precipitation
Mechanical-physical separation
Processes involving the separation of solids, liquid, or gasses by mechanical means
i.e. filtration, settling, screening size reduction
