Common chemical unit operation equipment includes: transfer pumps, fans, crushers, mixers, plate and frame filters, ultrafiltration systems, dialysis units, acid-base catalytic reactors, enzyme-catalyzed reactors, membrane contactors, absorption towers, catalyst production facilities, extraction towers, humidification towers, heat exchangers, and equipment for material dehydration. Humans have internal organs; what chemical processing equipment would correspond to your internal organs, or how many such devices would be equivalent to them?
Conveying pump – heart; Fan – lungs; Grinder – teeth; Mixer – stomach; Plate and frame filter – capillaries .................

Personally, I think the lung is more like pressure swing adsorption
This is kind of interesting, I learned *:lol
Hehe, so many interesting titles! ! ! ! ! ! !
