+ d2)
- (B) d2/(d1
+ d2)
- (C) (d1 + d2)/d1

- (B) A hold down bar
- (C) Bolts
- (D) Both (b) and (c)
8. Optimum economic pipe diameter for fluid flow is determined by the
- (A) Viscosity of the fluid
- (B) Density of the fluid
- (C) Total cost considerations (pumping cost plus fixed cost of the pipe)
- (D) None of these
9. The necessary wall thickness for a metallic storage vessel is a function of the
- (A) Ultimate tensile strength (or yield point) of
the material and operating temperature
- (B) Operating pressure and welding/joint efficiency
- (C) Diameter of the vessel
- (D) All (a), (b) and (c)
10. The ratio for the rate of washing to the final rate of filtration in a washing type of plate and frame filter is
- (A) 0.25
- (B) 0.50
- (C) 0.75
- (D) 1.25
11. Cylindrical shell thickness of rotary drier is generally _________ mm.
- (A) 2-3
- (B) 18-22
- (C) 6-8

12. Pick out the wrong statement pertaining to 'Horton sphere' used for the storage of liquid ammonia.
- (A) Diameter of Horton sphere is normally 6 to 25 meters and it is
supported by 6 to 12 nos. tubular or rolled section column
- (B) Thickness of spherical shell is half that of the
cylindrical vessel under same operating pressure condition. Besides, the ratio
of surface area to volume is less for sphere than any other shape; hence
insulation required is less
