The document contains questions asked during a mass transfer interview covering topics such as different types of distillation processes (e.g. molecular, extractive, azeotropic), equipment used in distillation columns (e.g. trays, packings, reboilers, condensers), concepts like flooding and channeling, saturation vs relative humidity, heat transfer unit (HETP), absorption processes, design methods like McThiele and Kerns, properties like Reynolds and Prandtl numbers, and differences between centrifugal and reciprocating pumps.

Following questions from mass transfer asked during interview.
• What is molecular, differential extractive, azeotropic distillation.
• How many type of tray used in distillation. There difference also. • What is basic difference between extractive and azeotropic distillation. • Define flooding, weeping, entrainment and there condition how can u remove this. • What is channelling in distillation column. • What is difference between saturation humidity and relative humidity. • Which is greater relatively or % humidity. • What is HETP. • What is different type of packing used during absorption. • What is need of reboiler and condenser in distillation column. • What is difference between J & N in diffusion • What is difference between bubble point and boiling point. • Draw the extraction curve for counter current and cross current. • What is use of minimum reflux ratio and maximum reflux ratio. • What is 5 difference between extraction and distillation. • In distillation column why we use partial reboiler . • Can we use partial condenser in distillation unit in industry. • What is effect of temp on adsorption and absorption. • Define Mc Thiele method in distillation. • Type of heat exchanger. • Kerns method (designing of heat exchanger) • Renold no and prandtl no. • Cavitation and NPSH • Difference between centrifugal pump and Reciprocating pump and their uses.
