Mass Transfer MCQs

283. In a distillation operation, what is the effect of the temperature of the reflux stream (given below) on the condenser and reboiler loads? Reflux conditions: (i) Reflux stream is completely liquid and is at its bubble point. (ii) Reflux stream is below its bubble point.

Condenser and reboiler loads are the same in both the cases
Reboiler load is the same in both the cases but condenser load is higher in case (ii)
Condenser load is the same in both the cases but reboiler load is higher in case (ii)
Both condensor and reboiler loads are higher in case (ii) as compared to case (i)
✅ The correct answer is option D.

289. Weeping in a distillation column

Increases tray efficiency
Provides large interfacial surface for mass transfer
Results due to very high gas velocity
Results due to very low gas velocity
✅ The correct answer is option D.
