Introduction to Chemical Engineering

Unit Operation

Unit operation is a basic step in a process that involves physical change or chemical transformation during the process like polymerization separation, evaporation crystallization, filtration, isomerization, and other reactions.

Example of Unit operation

1. Distillation of Methylene Di Chloride with water: Separation based on density difference, a physical change. 🧪🌡️
2. Distillation of Acetone and Water: Separation due to boiling point difference, also a physical change. 💧🔥

Classification of Unit Operation {Extra}

1. Material Handling, Transportation / Fluid Flow Process: Includes pumping, compression, and fluidization. 🚢🌊
2. Mechanical Unit Operations: Involves size reduction, size enlargement, and mixing. 🔄🗜️
3. Mass Transfer Operations: Covers evaporation, distillation, absorption, extraction, and leaching. 🌬️🍶
4. Heat Transfer Operations: Includes conduction, convection, and radiation. ☀️❄️🔥

Unit Process

The unit process is a process in which chemical changes take place to the material present in the reaction and result in the chemical reaction is known as the Unit process. This basically consists of a reaction between two or more chemical which results in another chemical and can also be defined as a unit process. Sulphonation, nitration, oxidation, halogenation, and many more.

Examples of Unit Processes:

1. Electrolysis of Sodium Chloride Solution: Decomposition of NaCl with electricity, chemical reaction. ⚡🧂
