Unit Operations Exclusive -

Heat Exchangers: Cooling down a hot chemical stream using cold water. Condensation: Turning steam back into liquid. Moving molecules from one phase to another.

To make them easier to study and apply, engineers generally group unit operations into five main categories based on the physics involved: 1. Fluid Flow Processes unit operations

While there are hundreds of specific operations, they generally fall into five functional categories: Heat Exchangers: Cooling down a hot chemical stream
