1. Pick out the wrong statement about routing of fluids in a shell and tube heat exchanger.
Options
A. The corrosive and fouling fluid should be preferably routed through the tubes.
B. The viscous fluid should be routed through the shell side.
C. Lower flow rate fluid should be routed through the shell side.
D. Higher pressure fluid stream should be routed through the shell side.
Correct Answer: Higher pressure fluid stream should be routed through the shell side.
2. The design stress, which is more than the damaging stress, is the least unit stress that will render a member unfit for service before the end of its normal life. The design stress factor or factor of safety indicates the margin between design stress and the __________ stress.
6. Pick out the wrong statement about distillation operation
Options
A. Distillation under vacuum is a substitute for steam distillation.
B. In differential (simple) distillation, the vapour is removed as soon as it is formed without appreciable condensation.
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.
Correct Answer: Flash distillation, differential distillation & steam distillation are all continuous distillation processes.
7. Angled baffles are preferred in the agitation tank to control the swirling action; if the viscosity of the liquid to be mixed is about 200 poise. However, the baffle may be completely eliminated for mixing liquids having viscoisty above __________ poise.
