Questions and Answers

In which type of unit operations are momentum transfer, heat transfer, and mass transfer typically involved?

  • Only in adiabatic conditions
  • Only in gas absorption processes
  • Only in distillation processes
  • In chemical and process industries (correct)

What processes can take place when a fluid flows under adiabatic conditions through a bed of granular particles?
