    fibre selection
    D.
    all (a), (b) & (c)

    decreases very rapidly
    B.
    increases very rapidly
    C.
    remains constant
    D.
    increases linearly

  9. Pick out the correct statement.

  10. 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.

  12. A.
    permit release of entrained vapour in the liquid.
    B.
    reduce the discharge fluctuation.
    C.
    ensure better vapour-liquid contact.

    stress
    C.
    modular ratio
    D.
    none of these

  15. In the design of a shell and tube heat exchanger, the corrosion allowance

  16. A.

    C.
    sub cooling of condensate is desired.
    D.
    both the functions of condensation & sub cooling are carried out in a single unit.
