b) Fractional crystallization
c) Zone melting
d) Three phase isothermal flash
View Answer Answer: d
Explanation: A three phase isothermal flash is used to separate vapor-liquid-liquid system.



3 - Question

Why are calculations for three phase flash difficult?
a) Because of strong dependency of K values on liquid phase composition when two immiscible liquids are present
b) Because of strong dependency of K values on vapor phase composition when two immiscible liquids are present
c) Because of strong dependency of K values on liquid phase composition when two miscible liquids are present
d) Because of strong dependency of K values on liquid phase composition when three immiscible liquids are present
View Answer Answer: a
Explanation: The calculations of three phase flash are difficult due to strong dependency of K values on liquid phase composition when two immiscible liquids are present.



4 - Question

What is the enthalpy balance for three phase system?
a) hFF + Q =hvV + hLL(1) + hLL(2)
b) hFF =hvV + hLL(1) + hLLL(2)

6 - Question

If at a certain pressure the vapor pressure of water is 4.74pisa and the mole fraction of water is 0.923, find out the crystallizer pressure.
a) 2.5pisa
b) 4.38pisa
c) 4.56pisa
d) 4.76pisa
View Answer Answer: b
Explanation: Roult’s law is used P=psxh20. Hence P=4.74*0.923=4.38pisa.



7 - Question

If at a certain pressure the vapor pressure of water is 8pisa and the mole fraction of water is 0.9, find out the crystallizer pressure.
a) 0.64pisa
b) 7.2pisa
c) 0.66pisa
d) 0.81pisa
View Answer Answer: b
Explanation: Roult’s law is used P=psxh20. Hence P=8*0.9=7.2pisa



8 - Question

If at a certain pressure the vapor pressure of water is 6pisa and the mole fraction of water is 0.7, find out the crystallizer pressure.
a) 3.3pisa
b) 3.5pisa
c) 3.96pisa
d) 4.2pisa
View Answer Answer: d
Explanation: Roult’s law is used P=psxh20. Hence P=6*0.7=4.2pisa.



9 - Question

If at a certain pressure the vapor pressure of water is 2pisa and the mole fraction of water is 0.9, find out the crystallizer pressure.
a) 0.45pisa
b) 1.8pisa
c) 3.6pisa
d) 0.81pisa
View Answer Answer: b
Explanation: Roult’s law is used P=psxh20. Hence P=2*0.9=1.8pisa



10 - Question

If at a certain pressure the vapor pressure of water is 10pisa and the mole fraction of water is 0.8, find out the crystallizer pressure.
a) 5pisa
b) 6pisa
c) 7pisa
d) 8pisa
View Answer Answer: d
Explanation: Roult’s law is used P=psxh20. Hence P=10*0.8=8pisa.
