Chemical Engineering Mcqs

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
Pick out the wrong statement?
  • (A)  Riveting provides a permanent fastening method
  • (B)  The joint made by overlapping of one plate over the other, and then riveting the two plates together with two rows of rivets is called ‘double riveted butt joint’
  • (C)  Shank diameter of the rivets should be less than the size of the hole drilled in the plate for riveting
  • (D)  The efficiency of a riveted joint is the ratio of the strength of the riveted joint to the strength of the solid plate
Pick out the wrong statement?
  • (A)  The tensile strength of a brittle material is less than its compressive strength
  • (B)  The compressive strength of a ductile material is less than its tensile strength
  • (C)  In a thick cylindrical shell, the hoop stress is maximum at the inner radius
  • (D)  The value of crushing load is more than that of buckling load for long columns
Pick out the correct statement?
  • (A)  It is preferred to use a vertical condenser for condensation of vapor from a distillation column without sub-cooling
  • (B)  Draining of residual liquid on tray during shut down of distillation column is facilitated by weep holes
  • (C)  Random packing a packed tower offers the advantage of lower pressure drop and higher throughput of fluids as compared to regular/stacked packing
  • (D)  Risers are generally not connected to the plate in a distillation coloumn by bolts, rivets or welding
