Guiné, Raquel
Unit operations are an area of engineering that is at the same time very fascinating and most essential for the industry in general and the food industry in particular. This book was prepared in a way to achieve simultaneously the academic and practical perspectives. It is organized into two parts: the unit operations based on equilibrium processes and the mechanical operations. Each topic starts with a presentation of the fundamental concepts and principles, followed by a discussion of the main applications, type of equipment, operating principles, methods of solving the engineering problem and the factors that influence the operation, among others. Moreover, throughout the work there is a concern of clearly illustrate the explanations through a set of examples applied to the vast sector of the food industry.
