- B. more than that for Tee (used as elbow, entering run).
- C. around 90.
- D. both (b) and (c).
- Correct Answer
- both (b) and (c).
- 1. Weep holes provided in the plates of a distillation column

- B. are normally located near the overflow weir so that any delivery of liquid during operation follows approximately the same path as the overflow fluid.
- C. must be large enough (usually 1/4" to 5/8" dia) to prevent plugging but should not deliver excessive amount of fluid during operation.
- D. all (a), (b) and (c). Discuss
- 2. If 'D' is the inside diameter of the shell of a shell and tube heat exchanger, then the baffle spacing is usually in the range of

Options- A. increases
- B. decreases
- C. remains same
- D. may increase or decrease depending upon the solubility of the gas in the liquid Discuss
- 4. __________ is the determining factor for the number of bubble caps to be used per tray.
Options- A. Permissible slot velocity
- B. Tray diameter
- C. Liquid load

Options- A. 16
- B. 19
- C. 28
- D. 38 Discuss
- 7. In actual operation of distillation column, the vapour is not distributed uniformly among the bubble caps, primarily because of the

Options- A. 250
- B. 450
- C. 650
- D. 750 Discuss
- 10. High pressure fluid in a shell and tube heat exchanger should preferably be routed through the
Options- A. tubes to avoid the expansion of high pressure shell construction.
- B. shell side for smaller total pressure drop.
- C. shell side, if the flow is counter-current and tube side if the flow is co-current.
- D. shell side for large overall heat transfer co-efficient. Discuss
