Internal Examination (Mass Transfer)

1. Mass transfer rate between two fluid phases does not necessarily depend on the
chemical properties of the two phases
2. The percentage humidity is less than the relative humidity only at 0 & 100 percent
humidity.
3. Flooding in a vapor-liquid contacting equipment occurs in a tray, when the pressure
drop through a tray is more than the liquid head available in the downcomer.
4. Milk is dried usually in a Spray dryer.
5. Mass transfer co-efficient is directly proportional to DAB 0.5, according to
penetration theory.
6. Sand is dried in foundaries in a fluidized bed drier.
7. Lewis number indicates the ratio of the rates of the heat and mass transfer incase of a
cooling tower.
8. Humid volume, at a given temperature is a/an linear function of humidity.
9. Moisture in a solid exerting an equilibrium vapour pressure equal to that of the pure
liquid at the same temperature is called the unbound moisture.
10. Refractory bricks are usually dried in a tunnel dryer.
11. Nerst developed the film theory.
12. Water-ethyl alcohol solution can be concentrated (in respect of alcohol concentration)
by vaccum distillation.
13. Extraction of pencillin employs a centrifugal extraction column.
14. When the gas to be dissolved in liquid is a/an pure gas then normally co-current
adsorber are used.
15. Corresponding to Prandtl number in heat transfer, the dimensionless group in mass
transfer is the Sherwood number.
