Affected more by temperature than that for gases.

YES

Affected much less by temperature than that for

gases.
Not affected by the temperature.

None of these.
13 Which of the following unit operations makes use of

Liquid-liquid extraction

Solid-liquid extraction

Multicomponent absorption with chemical reaction

Multicomponent distillation.
YES

14 Which of the following liquid-vapor contacting

devices provides maximum contact surface area for
a particular duty?
Sieve plate column

Bubble cap column

Randomly packed column

Wetted wall column

YES

15 The equipment frequently used for adiabatic

humidification-cooling operation with recirculating
liquid is
natural draft cooling tower

induced draft cooling tower

spray chamber
YES

none of these
S.No. TXT
1 When the temperature and humidity of air is low, we IMAGE
usually use Natural draft cooling tower.
IF ANY

2 Packed columns are used for liquid dispersion in a

continuous gas phase

3 In batch distillation with constant reflux, overhead product

composition Decrease with time.

4 Psychrometry deals with the properties of gas-vapor

mixture. Humidity can be determined by the
measurement of the electrical resistance of a fibre.

5 Rayleigh equation applies to differential distillation.
