Mass Transfer MCQs for Chemical Engineers
1. Wetted wall tower experiment is generally used to determine: (A) Mass transfer co-efficient (B) Molal diffusivity (C) Volumetric co-efficient (D) None of the above 2. Lewis number (Le) is basically: (A) Sh Pr (B) St Sh (C) Pr St (D) Sc Pr 3. Stacked packing as compared to dumped packing: (A) Gives lower pressure drop (B) Provides poorer contact between the fluids (C) Gives higher pressure drop (D) Both A and B 4. In which case tower is most severe: (A) In dumped packing of regular units (B) At a very high liquid flow rate (C) In towers packed randomly with crushed (D) In towers packed with stacked packing 5. Flooding usually results in: (A) High gas velocity (B) Good contact between the fluids (C) Low tray efficiency (D) High tray efficiency 6. In a packed tower the operating velocity is usually……….the flooding velocity: (A) Twice (B) Equal to (C) More than (D) Half 7. When the gas flow rate is the same, the pressure drop in a packed tower being irrigated with liquid………that in the d
