4102. Pick out the wrong statement
In a flanged and standard dished head, the crown radius is ≤ shell outside diameter.
In a flanged and shallow dished head, the crown radius is > shell outside diameter.
Flat head covers are most suitable for larger vessels operating at very high pressure.
Flanged only head is a type of flat head in which gradual change in the shape at the centre results in reduced local stresses.
✅ The correct answer is option C.

1250
2500
7500
15000
✅ The correct answer is option C.
4104. Needle valves are generally not used for
very large diameter pipes.
high pressure throttling service.
very accurate flow control.

4105. Pick out the wrong statement pertaining to the design of the bubble cap tray of a distillation column to give stable operation and even vapour distribution.
The pressure drop due to the caps & slots and the static submergence should be as high as practicable for reasonable operation.
Tendency towards stable operation is increased by increasing the skirt clearance of the caps, lowering the rate of liquid flow per unit plate width or increasing the spacing between the caps.
The dimensionless ratio of liquid gradient to pressure drop head caused by the bubble cap assembly should be less than 0.4.
none of these.
✅ The correct answer is option D.
