INDUSTRY PROCESS DESIGN QUIZ

Test Your knowledge on Compressors –

Online Quiz
Last updated November 26, 2016

Compressors are used widely in Various elds for wide range of Applications. Modern compressors are
designed to compress the gas streams up to 900 bar. Most of the Chemical Process Industries
use compressors to achieve the desired Reaction pressure, Refrigeration effect and to transport
gases. Chemical Engineering Site already published articles on Reciprocating Compressor Trips and Safety
Aspects   and Centrifugal Compressor Surge – Choke which was well received by the
users. This Compressor quiz also unveils you about the Selection, Types, Design and Performance
Calculations, Components and Safety aspects of compressors.
Its time to answer the questions in Compressor Quiz now
