In chemical engineering and related fields (Exp. pharmaceuticals), a unit operation is a basic step in a process. Whereas a process may have many unit operations to obtain the desired product.

Chemical engineering unit operations consist of five classes:

*Fluid flow processes, including fluids transportation, filtration, solids fluidization

*Heat transfer processes, including evaporation, condensation

*Mass transfer processes, including gas absorption, distillation, extraction, adsorption, drying

*Thermodynamic processes, including gas liquefaction, refrigeration

*Mechanical processes, including solids transportation, crushing and pulverization, screening and sieving

Pharmaceutical Process Engineering by Anthony J. Hickey and David

Summarizing fundamental engineering principles and operations critical to converting bulk pharmaceutical products into patient-ready and appropriate drug delivery dosage forms, Pharmaceutical Process Engineering facilitates comprehensive understanding of the practical aspects of drug production in an accessible, step-by-step format. It provides a pharmaceutical perspective on unit operations that improves communication among diverse professionals in the field-from pharmaceutical researchers to chemical and industrial engineers-and fully covers the relationship of pharmaceutical development to the application of key concepts and major unit operations in pharmaceutical engineering.

Pharmaceutical Process Engineering makes a noteworthy reference for industrial, research, and clinical pharmaceutical scientists; chemical and industrial engineers; biologists and toxicologists; biostatisticians; analytical chemists; and quality control, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance managers; and serves as an essential text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
