  • (B)  Molecular diffusion in solid is much faster than that in liquids
  • (C)  Particles movement from higher concentration to lower concentration takes place in diffusion process
  • (D)  According to Poiseuille’s law, the permeability decreases with increase in temperature for flow of a gas through a given capillary
Pick out the wrong statement ?
  • (A)  Change in barometric pressure does not affect the relative humidity
  • (B)  In case of a packed tower, the operating velocity is about half of the flooding velocity, generally
  • (C)  ‘Elution’ means the desorption of the adsorbed solute by a solvent
  • (D)  The equilibrium moisture content of the solid can be reduced by increasing the absolute humidity
Pick out the wrong statement?
  • (A)  Mass transfer co-efficient does not account for gas-liquid diffusion
  • (B)  Diffusion co-efficient and mass transfer co-efficient are not same in any mass transfer operation
  • (C)  Contacting cold vapor-gas mixture with hot liquid exemplifies humidification process
  • (D)  Contacting cold liquid with warm vapor-gas mixture exemplifies dehumidification process
Pick out the wrong statement ?
  • (A)  Mechanical agitation is required, if the system has low interfacial tension
  • (B)  Sieve tray towers are generally used for systems having low interfacial tension
  • (C)  When Henry’s law constant is very small, then the mass transfer rate is controlled by the gas film resistance
  • (D)  Taylor-Prandtl analogy for heat and mass transfer considers the transfer through both laminar and turbulent layers
Pick out the wrong statement ?
  • (A)  Co-current absorbers are usually used, when the gas to be dissolved in the liquid is a pure substance

  • (C)  Hatta number is important in case of gas absorption with chemical reaction
  • (D)  In actual practice, absorption is an endothermic process, while stripping is an exothermic process
Pick out the wrong statement ?
  • (A)  High early strength cement are made from materials having high silica to lime ratio

  • (D)  Major component of greyish Portland cement is tricalcium silicate
Pick out the wrong statement ?
  • (A)  DDT is manufactured by the condensation of chlorobenzene with chloral at 30°C in presence of oleum, which is a highly exothermic reaction
