Pick out the wrong statement about the recycle stream in a process ?
  • (A)  Recycling in a process stream helps in utilising the valuable reactants to the maximum with minimum loss of reactants
  • (B)  The ratio of the quantity of a reactant present in the reactor feed of a recycling operation to the quantity of the same reactant entering the process as fresh feed is called combined feed ratio
  • (C)  Recycling in a process does not help in getting higher extent of reaction
  • (D)  Recycling is exemplified by refluxing back a part of the distillate to the distillation column to maintain the quantity of liquid within the column
Pick out the wrong statement?
  • (A)  Atomic heat capacities of the crystalline solid elements are nearly constant and equal to 6.2 kcal/kg-atom according to the law of Petit and Dulong
  • (B)  Atomic heat capacities of all solid elements decrease greatly with decrease in temperature, approaching a value of zero at absolute zero temperature, when in the crystalline state
  • (C)  Generally, the heat capacities of compounds are lower in the liquid than in the solid state
  • (D)  The heat capacity of a heterogeneous mixture is an additive property, but when solutions are formed, this additive property may no longer exist

Pick out the wrong statement?
  • (A)  Insulating refractories used in place of regular refractory bricks are usually called light weight refractories, and they have similar composition as heavy bricks

Pick out the wrong statement?
  • (A)  Refractories used in muffle furnace should have low thermal conductivity
  • (B)  The electrical resistivity of refractories drops rapidly with rise in temperature
  • (C)  For reducing spalling tendency, the refractory should be well fired and its porosity should be more
  • (D)  Refractoriness under load (RUL) of a refractory is always less than its refractoriness

  • (A)  In practical operation, distillation towers having diameter 3-6 metres equipped with bubble cap (round) size of 15 cms are used
  • (B)  Height of packing in a packed tower is about 3 times the column diameter for raschig rings and about 5 to 10 times the column diameter for saddle packing
  • (C)  In a sieve tray, the minimum hole diameter is equal to the tray thickness
  • (D)  In a stainless steel sieve tray, the minimum hole diameter is equal to 10 times the plate thickness
Pick out the wrong statement ?
  • (A)  Plate efficiency increases with increase in superficial vapour velocity till entrainment limit
  • (B)  Increase in depth of the liquid about the slots increases the plate efficiency, particularly if the liquid depth is < 1"
  • (C)  Too small a plate spacing can cause a low efficiency, if the vapour velocity is greater than the allowable value
  • (D)  None of these
