b) Input and output fees rates
c) Reflux ratio
d) Boil up
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Vapor and liquid compositions are calculated In Thiele Geddes method, while reflux ratio in McCabe Thiele method.
3 - Question
Which method is the inverse of Thiele Geddes Method?
a) Lewis Matheson
b) Ponchan Savarit
c) McCabe Thiele
d) Homotomy
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Lewis Matheson is the inverse of Thiele Geddes method, while other listed methods are completely different from each other and all are used to calculate number of trays.

b) Feed ratio
c) Volatility
d) Reflux
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: As per the relation the value of K is given as the function of KV = f (pure liquid)/f (pure vapor).
7 - Question
User provided internal flows are generally for
a) Reflux in high purity
b) Overhead liquid products
c) Narrow building columns
d) NOR relation
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: User provided internal flows are generally for Reflux in high purity, overhead liquid products and Narrow building columns also called as NOR relation.
8 - Question
For accurate Reflux, estimate
a) Reflux of high purity is used
b) Narrow boiling is used
c) Super fractionators are used
d) Final temperature is used
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: For accurate Reflux estimate, narrow boiling is necessary, where separation is required the reflux of high priority is used.
9 - Question
Azeotropic composition is?
a) y*>x
b) y*<x
c) y*=x
d) x+y* = 1
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Azeotropic composition is y*=x, whereas the x+y* = 1 gives the actual mole balance of gas and liquid at equilibrium.
10 - Question
Molecular Distillation is

b) Very low pressure distillation
c) High low pressure distillation
d) Purge pressure
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Molecular Distillation is done for very low pressure distillation operations, while batch distillation occurs at high pressure and temperatures.
