Separation Processes MCQ’s – Multicomponent Flash, Bubble Point and Dew Point Calculations
1 - Question
What is a flash?
a) It is a single-equilibrium stage distillation where the feed is partially vaporized to give a vapor feed rich in more volatile components.
b) It is a double-equilibrium stage distillation where the feed is partially vaporized to give a vapor feed rich in more volatile components
c) It is a single-equilibrium stage distillation where the feed is completely vaporized to give a vapor feed rich in more volatile components
d) It is a single-equilibrium stage distillation where the feed is partially vaporized to give a vapor feed rich in less volatile components
View Answer
Explanation: A flash is a single-equilibrium stage distillation where the feed is partially vaporized to give a vapor feed rich in more volatile components.
2 - Question
When is flashing a replacement for distillation?
a) When the relative velocity is high
b) When the relative velocity is low
c) When the relative volatility is high
d) When the relative volatility is low
View Answer
Explanation: Unless the relative volatility is high, flashing is not a replacement for distillation.
