Abstract
In the author's opinion, the “unit process” concept is completely against the logic of chemical engineering which pays no particular attention to the kind of atoms exchanged. Nevertheless, chemical changes cannot be left outside the field of that science. In an attempt towards a general classification of all unit operations, some can be put together in accordance with their mechanical character. It is possible to classify all the others by the common character of exchange processes: momentum transfer, energy transfer, mass transfer, intramolecular transfer. The proposed classification includes in the field of Chemical Engineering Science all the transformations carried out not only in the chemical industry but also in all the process industries.
