    This document outlines an assignment on mechanical unit operations for a group project. The group must prepare a document that explains filtration processes including slurry, filter medium, and filtrate. It must also explain how the rate of filtration is affected by cake thickness, filtrate viscosity, pressure drop, and filter area. The document needs to cover sedimentation processes and how sedimentation rate is affected by particle density, size, temperature, viscosity, and flocculation. It also must explain centrifugal separation, gas cyclone separation, and their applications. Finally, it assigns groups to research and explain different membrane separation techniques for food industry applications: ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis.
