Separation Processes MCQ’s – Design of Solid Liquid Cake-Filtration Devices Based on Pressure Gradients
1 - Question
What do the pressure filtration devices consist that remains suspended while allowing the fluid in which the solids are suspended to pass through?
a) Semipermeable membrane
b) Mesh barrier
c) No barrier
d) Column
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The pressure filtration devices consist of Mesh barrier that remains suspended while allowing the fluid in which the solids are suspended to pass through.
2 - Question
The filtration models are based on which laws?
a) Pascals law
b) Roult’s law
c) Avogadro’s law
d) Darcy’s law
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: The filtration models are based on darcy’s law deve;oped in 1855 to describe flow of water in sand beds.
3 - Question
Which of the following is the correct representation of the darcy’s law?
a) (-k/µ)(dp/dz)
b) (-kµ)(dp/dz)
c) (k/µ)(dp/dz)
d) (kµ)(dp/dz)
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The correct representation of the darcy’s law is (-k/µ)(dp/dz) since it is inversely proportional to the viscosity of the medium.
4 - Question
Why a pump that delivers slurry to a filtration unit at constant pressure not a positive displacement pump?
a) Because it operates at variable floe rate
b) Because it operates at constant flow rates
c) Because the time of flow is different
d) Because the time of flow is same
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: A pump that delivers slurry to a filtration unit at constant pressure not a positive displacement pump because it operates at constant flow rates.
5 - Question
If the reported filter area A= 1m2
Viscosity µ = 5*10-4
Pressure difference = 100
And the intercept is 500
What is the value of medium’s resistance to flow?
a) 1*108
b) 5*108
c) 6*108
d) 2.5*108
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Since Rm= ΔPA(intercept)/µ, hence Rm=1*108.
