Correct Answer: total cost consideration (fixed cost of the column plus the cooling water & steam cost).
- 4. Multiple blade paddle agitator is used for mixing high viscosity liquids/paste in which the paddle diameter is commonly 0.8 times the tank diameter. However, the width of the blade is in the range of __________ times the paddle diameter.
Options- A. 0.1 to 0.25
- B. 0.3 to 0.5
- C. 0.5 to 0.6
- D. 0.65 to 0.80 Discuss

- 5. Rivets are generally specified by the
Options- A. head diameter
- B. shank diameter
- C. overall length
- D. none of these Discuss
Correct Answer: shank diameter
- 6. An underdesigned steam trap will
Options- A. waste steam.
- B. destroy itself of acceleration wear due to rapid recycling.
- C. back up condensate and cause water hammer in steam line.
- D. none of these. Discuss
Correct Answer: back up condensate and cause water hammer in steam line.
- 7. The diameter of a propeller agitator used in agitation tank ranges from __________ percent of the tank diameter and its peripherial speed is normally 300 to 500 metres/minute.
Options- A. 5 to 10
- B. 15 to 30
- C. 40 to 50
- D. 55 to 75 Discuss
Correct Answer: 15 to 30
- 8. Pick out the wrong statement pertaining to the comparative evaluation of performance of the packed tower and the plate tower.
Options- A. Plate tower is perferred, if interstage cooling is required to remove heats of reaction or solution.
- B. Plate tower is preferred over packed tower, if the operation involves liquids containing dispersed solids.
- C. The total weight of a dry plate tower is usually much more than that of a dry packed tower designed for the same duty.
- D. In operations involving large temperature changes. (e.g. distillation), plate towers are preferred over packed towers as the packing may be crushed due to large temperature changes. Discuss
Correct Answer: The total weight of a dry plate tower is usually much more than that of a dry packed tower designed for the same duty.
- 9. Which of the following factors affect the pressure drop in a co-current gas-liquid absorption packed tower?

- D. All (a), (b) and (c). Discuss
Correct Answer: All (a), (b) and (c).
- 10. Which of the following is not a graphical method (but is an analytical method) for the calculation of theoretical number of stages in case of continuous binary distillation?
Options- A. Sorel-Lewis method.
- B. McCabe-Thiele's method.
- C. Ponchon-Savarit method.
- D. none of these. Discuss
Correct Answer: Sorel-Lewis method.
