7281. An aqueous solution of methanol is to be distilled in a tray column. High pressure steam is available as a source of heat. For a given reflux ratio and overhead composition, two options are being explored; (i) a reboiler is used and (ii) no reboiler is used but steam is fed directly to the bottom of the column. As compared to option (i), in option (ii)

Less number of trays are required
Composition of the residue remains unchanged
More number of trays are required but the residue composition remains unchanged
More number of trays are required and the residue composition is more dilute in methanol
✅ The correct answer is option A.

7284. Molecular distillation is

High temperature distillation
For heat-sensitive materials
Very low pressure distillation
Both B and C
✅ The correct answer is option D.

7288. 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.
