- B. cases where temperature difference between the shell and the tubes is more (>50°C).
- C. co-current heat transfer systems.
- D. counter-current heat transfer systems. Discuss
- 4. In case of a continuous distillation column, increase in reflux ratio may result in the
Options- A. lower fixed charges for the column.
- B. greater cost for the reboiler heat supply.
- C. greater cost for the condenser coolant.
- D. all (a), (b) and (c). Discuss
- 5. The circumferential (hoop) stress in a thin walled cylinderical vessel under internal pressure is
Options- A. pd/2t
- B. pd/4t
- C. pd/t
- D. pd/3t Discuss
- 6. The maximum liquid gradient over a tray must not exceed
Options- A. 0.5" -1.25".
- B. 2"-3.5".
- C. 5".
- D. half the tray spacing. Discuss
- 7. Overall tray efficiency of a distillation column is the ratio of the number of
Options- A. overall gas transfer units to the number of ideal trays required.
- B. ideal trays required to the number of real trays required.
- C. real trays required to the number of ideal trays required.

- 8. Which of the following types of reactors is the safest from operation point of view?
Options- A. A vapor phase reactor.
- B. Pot type reactor.
- C. A liquid phase reactor.
- D. A liquid phase catalytic reactor. Discuss
- 9. Pick out the wrong statement pertaining to 'Horton sphere' used for the storage of liquid ammonia.
Options- A. Diameter of Horton sphere is normally 6 to 25 metres and it is supported by 6 to 12 nos. tubular or rolled section column.
