201. In a binary distillation column, if the feed contains 40 mole % vapour, the q line will have a slope of
1.5
-0.6
-1.5
0.6
✅ The correct answer is option C.
Mass Transfer MCQs
202. Pick out the correct relationship. (where, Ri = internal reflux ratio Ro = external reflux ratio. )
(1 + Ro) = Ro/Ri
(1 – Ro) = Ro/Ri
(1 + Ri) = Ro/Ri
(1 – Ri) = Ro/Ri
✅ The correct answer is option A.
203. In a counter-current liquid extractor
Both liquids flow at fixed rate
Both liquids can have any desired flow rate
Only one of the liquids may be pumped at any desired rate
Liquid’s flow rate depends upon the temperature and pressure
✅ The correct answer is option C.
204. Absorption accompanied with chemical reaction is exemplified by the absorption of
Ammonia in water
Benzol present in coke oven gas by wash oil
SO₂ in alkaline solution
All of the above
✅ The correct answer is option C.
205. A packed tower compared to a plate tower for a particular mass transfer operation
Incurs smaller pressure drop
Allows installation of cooling coils
Is less costly when built in large sizes/diameters
Is more suitable, if suspended solids are present in fluid streams
✅ The correct answer is option A.
206. According to the film theory of mass transfer, the mass transfer co-efficient is proportional to (where, D = molecular diffusivity)
D
