Unit Operations in Process Engineering

This lecture covers the integration of theoretical notions related to different technologies in process engineering unit operations, including processes involving heat transfer, mass transfer, mechanical processes, fluid flow processes, and thermodynamic processes. It explores the key stages of unit operations, such as separation, grinding, and storage, using examples like lime production and digestion. The course emphasizes the selection of the right technology, equipment sizing, and the evaluation of different technological options. Various types of compressors, pumps, and their applications are discussed, along with factors affecting their efficiency and performance. The lecture also addresses topics like cavitation, pump efficiency, and flow rate adjustment strategies.
