2. Pick out the wrong statement.
- (A) Lug supports are less expensive than other type of supports
- (B) A pipe is differentiated from a tube by the fact
that a pipe has a greater wall thickness compared to the tube
- (C) A reducer is used to change the direction of a pipe in a straight
run
- (D) The method of fixing tubes to a tube sheet by expanding is called
'tube rolling'
3. In a shell and tube heat exchanger, triangular pitch arrangement as compared to square pitch arrangement

- (B) Can accomodate less number of tubes for a given
shell diameter

handling high dirt factor shell side fluid
- (D) Creates relatively lower turbulence on the shell side resulting in
lower shell side heat transfer co-efficient
4. Baffles are provided in a shell and tube heat exchanger to increase the turbulence and velocity of the shell side fluid. Which of the following shaped baffles does not fall in the category of transverse baffle?
- (A) Segmental baffle
- (B) Flat plate extending across the wall

- (C) Plate type
- (D) Regenerative
6. Value of Peclet number = ∞, is the representative of
- (A) Laminar flow
- (B) Complete back mixing
- (C) Plug flow
- (D) Eddy diffusivity = 0
7. The average velocity in the tubes of a 1-4 heat exchanger is _________ times that in 1-1 heat exchanger having the same size & number of tubes and operated at same liquid flow rate.
- (A) 2
- (B) 1/2
- (C) 4
- (D) 1/4
8. Steam economy is defined as the amount of evaporation per unit amount of steam used, while the capacity is the total evaporation obtained per hour. Use of multiple effects in evaporation
- (A) Increases capacity
- (B) Increases economy
- (C) Does not affect the capacity
- (D) Both 'b' & 'c'
9. Pick out the wrong statement about distillation operation
- (A) Distillation under vacuum is a substitute for steam distillation
- (B) In differential (simple) distillation, the
vapor is removed as soon as it is formed without appreciable condensation
- (C) In flash (equilibrium) distillation, a definite fraction of liquid
is vaporized in such a way that the evolved vapor & residual liquids are
in equilibrium with each other
- (D) Flash distillation, differential distillation & steam
distillation are all continuous distillation processes

- (A) Laminar flow
- (B) Complete back mixing
