√(ΔT₁ . ΔT₂)
2.(ΔT₁ . ΔT₂)/(ΔT₁ + ΔT₂)
2.(ΔT₁ . ΔT₂)(ΔT₁ – ΔT₂)
(ΔT₁ – ΔT₂)/(ΔT₁ . ΔT₂)
✅ The correct answer is option B.
303. In case of vertical tube evaporator, with increase in liquor level, the overall heat transfer co-efficient
Increases
Decreases
Is not affected
May increase or decrease; depends on the feed
✅ The correct answer is option B.
304. The actual temperature drop across the heating surface of an evaporator depends on the
Liquid depth over the heating surface
Solution being evaporated
Pressure difference between the steam chest and the vapor space above the boiling liquid
All of the above
✅ The correct answer is option D.
305. Which of the following has the lowest Prandtl number?

Water
Transformer oil
Dilute H₂SO₄
✅ The correct answer is option A.
306. Reynold’s analogy states that (where, St = Stanton number f = friction factor)
St = f/2
St = f/4
St = 4f
St = f1/2
✅ The correct answer is option A.
307. 1000 Kg of liquid at 30°C in a well stirred vessel has to be heated to 120°C, using immersed coils carrying condensing steam at 150°C. The area of the steam coils is 1.2 m² and the overall heat transfer co-efficient to the liquid is 1500 W/m².°C. Assuming negligible heat loss to the surrounding and specific heat capacity of the liquid to be 4 kJ/kg.°C, the time taken for the liquid to reach desired temperature will be
15 min
22 min
44 min
51 min
✅ The correct answer is option D.
