Options- A. Anemometer
- B. Manometer
- C. Tachometer
- D. Barometer Discuss
- 2. Turbulent flow range of mixing speed is obtained for
Options- A. Rei<10
- B. 10<Rei<104
- C. Rei>104
- D. None of these Discuss
- 3. Bioreactors, where vortex is formed, another dimensionless number, __________ is useful.
Options- A. Stanton
- B. Rayleigh
- C. Bond
- D. Froude Discuss
- 4. The effect of increasing the stirrer speed in an unbaffled stirred tank reactor is that
Options- A. a small increase in stirrer speed will cause the liquid to enter the turbulent flow regime
- B. as the stirrer speed increases, the liquid will continue to circulate and then become turbulent
