PCT 120 — Unit Operations
This course provides for a study of the basic principles and operation of the main units associated with the production of product in the processing industries. The primary emphasis of study will focus on processing units operation. Processes involving the principles of fluid mechanics heat transfer including evaporation, mass transfer including distillation, and mechanical separation will be explored. The basic processes being facilitated within the various units will be examined. The interactions and the transactional phoneme occurring during operation of these units will be addressed. The commonalties, results, and effects, associated with various processes will be related to various allied chemical-manufacturing operations. Instructional emphasis will be limited to the relevant theoretical and practical aspects of the subject matter.
