- B. more than the tube diameter.
- C. equal to the tube diameter.
- D. more in case of triangular pitch as compared to the square pitch tube layout. Discuss
Correct Answer: not less than one-fourth of the tube diameter or 3/16".
- 2. For annular flow of a fluid, the ratio of the equivalent diameter for pressure drop calculation to the equivalent diameter for heat transfer calculation is
Options- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
Discuss
Correct Answer:
- 3. In a shell and tube heat exchanger, the overall heat transfer co-efficient is proportional to the tube side (volumetric flow rate)0.8. This is valid, only when the ratio of the tube side film resistance to the total resistance is almost equal to
Options- A. ?
- B. 1
- C. 20.8
- D. 2 Discuss
Correct Answer: 1
- 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.
- B. It is suitable for process, in which the final product is a liquor instead of solid.
- C. Its usual dimensions are: tube dia = 2-3 cms; evaporator body dia = 1-4 metres and evaporator height = 2.5-4 metres.
- D. Liquor flows inside the tube, while the steam is outside submerging the tube. Discuss
Correct Answer: Liquor flows inside the tube, while the steam is outside submerging the tube.
- 5. For a cylindrical shell, (subject to the thickness of uppermost course being more than the minimum for diaofthe tank in question), the thickness of the courses of shell
Options- A. decreases upwards.
- B. increases upwards.
- C. remains same throughout.
- D. may decrease or increase upwards depending upon whether vacuum or positive pressure would be maintained inside the shell. Discuss
Correct Answer: decreases upwards.
- 6. Maximum acceptable total liquid gradient over a tray is about __________ mm.

- C. is directly proportional to the radius of the dust particle path.
- D. none of these. Discuss
Correct Answer: none of these.
- 8. Accidents in chemical plants are mostly due to
Options- A. inadequate equipment design.
- B. faulty operating procedures.
- C. improper layout of the equipments.
- D. failure of equipments. Discuss
Correct Answer: faulty operating procedures.
- 9. Steam is preferred to be used as a heating medium in heat exchangers, because of its
Options- A. low cost.
- B. high latent heat.
- C. non-corrosive condensate.
- D. high film co-efficient. Discuss
Correct Answer: high latent heat.

Options- A. working
- B. damaging
- C. allowable
- D. none of these Discuss
Correct Answer: damaging
