Course Title: Unit Operations
Course Summary
Unit Operations introduces trainees to the fundamental physical processes used in chemical and process industries to transform raw materials into useful products. The course focuses on core operations such as fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, mixing, size reduction, and separation techniques. Trainees gain both theoretical understanding and practical skills needed to operate, analyze, and troubleshoot common industrial equipment used in manufacturing, food processing, water treatment, and chemical plants.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, trainees should be able to:
1. State the principles behind major unit operations used in process industries.
2. Explain fluid flow behavior in pipes and channels.
3. Demonstrate understanding of heat transfer methods and related equipment.
4. Describe mass transfer processes
5. Operate and maintain basic unit operation equipment safely.
