Options- A. decreases upwards.
- B. increases upwards.
- C. remains same throughout.

- 4. Pick out the wrong statement pertaining to the design of a horizontal tube evaporator.
Options- A. It is unsuitable for concentrating those liquids, which form a scale or deposit salt.

- C. In flash (equilibrium) distillation, a definite fraction of liquid is vaporised in such a way that the evolved vapour & residual liquids are in equilibrium with each other.
- D. Flash distillation, differential distillation & steam distillation are all continuous distillation processes. Discuss
