1 - Question
The ratio of void volume and total surface area of particles is defined as _____
a) Resistance
b) Hydraulic radius
c) Repulsion
d) Void age
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The hydraulic radius which is defined as the flow area per unit wetted perimeter and is represented by RH.
2 - Question
What does the ε represents?
a) Porosity
b) Density
c) Viscosity
d) Acidity
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The ratio of void volume and the total volume is defined as the porosity, which is denoted by ε.
3 - Question
Calculate ε, if the total area is 45 m2 and the void area is 100 m2?
a) 10.5
b) 0.45
c) 2.222
d) 0.89
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: As we know ε = void area/total area = 100/45 = 2.222.
4 - Question
Calculate the hydraulic radius, if porosity is 0.6 and specific gravity is 1.50?
a) 1
b) 0.6
c) 0.2
d) 1.8
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: As we know that ε/sp (1- ε) = 0.6/1.50(1-0.6) = 1.
5 - Question
____ of the liquid is defined as volumetric flow rate of the liquid divided by the total area.
a) Final velocity
b) Total volume
c) Superficial velocity
d) Wetted perimeter
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The superficial velocity is defined as the volumetric rate and liquid divided by total or empty cross sectional area Usup.
6 - Question

a) Resistance
b) Hydraulic radius
c) Repulsion
d) Void age
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Here ε is the void fraction sometimes called porosity of the bed and Sp is the specific surface area of the particles.
7 - Question
What does the below represent?
t= f tc
a) Cake formation
b) Drum rotation
c) Initial extraction
d) Extra time
View Answer
Answer: a

8 - Question
____ is defined as the volume of void filled and total volume.
a) Upper velocity
b) Saturation
c) Residual saturation
d) Superficial velocity
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The saturation (S) is usually defined with respect to the wetting fluid and is therefore the fractional volume of voids occupied by the wetting fluid.
9 - Question
____ is the maximum volume wetted to ratio of total volume.
a) Residual saturation
b) Saturation
c) Residual saturation
d) Superficial velocity
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The residual saturation (SF) is defined as the ratio of maximum volume wetting fluid eliminated from flow and total volume of voids.
10 - Question
Calculate S, if the voids filled are 40 m3 and having 50 m3 of total volume?
a) 0.8
b) 1.25
c) 40
d) 50
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: As we know that S = void volume/total volume = 40/50 = 0.8.
