Q1:
What is the meaning of full redistributor? When should use it?
Full redistributor: combines the functions of packing support and a liquid
distributor. We use it when there is a misdistribution

Q2:
What is the meaning of NOG (a number of overall gas-phase transfer? units) in a
packed absorption column?
Ans: NOG: is the number of beds (Packed)

Q3:
Give a suitable solution for bad liquid distribution in the packed absorption
column.
Ans: Redistribution

Q4:
Which of the following is used to set the diameter of the distillation column?
A. Number of plates
B. Allowable vapor velocity
C. Operating pressure
D. Length of chord
Ans: B

Q6:
What is the purpose of using a packed absorption column?
Ans:
Ammar: To increasing the surface area of gas-liquid contact
Hyder: purification
Q8:
Why should calculate the fractional entrainment Ψ in the distillation column?
Ans: Can be taken as 0.1, If it is higher than 0.1 we should increase the hole
area OR perforated the plate.

Q10:
Give a suitable solution for resolving the weeping phenomenon.
Ans: Reduce the hole diameter OR reduce the perforated in the plate

Q11:
What is the meaning of the following statement (p.p. 140)? Why? Metal and
plastic rings are more efficient than ceramic rings, as it is possible to make the
walls thinner.
Ans: Because the metal and plastic have a large capacity and low density.

Q12:
What is the best type of packing for corrosive liquid in the absorption column?
Why?
Ans: Ceramic packed Because it has good chemical resistance to organic
and non-organic solutions…

Q15:
What is the main factor that affects the overall height of the distillation column?
Ans: Space plate

Q16:
What is the wall-wiper?
Wall-wiper: Type of redistributor, used in small-diameter columns, less
than 0.6 m.
Q17:
What is the purpose of using a hold-down plate?
Come soon ...

Q18:
What is the best type of distributor for a large diameter of absorption column,
which is working under pressure? Why?
For large: Trough type, pipe redistributor
Which working ...: pipe redistributor
Why: The pressure inside the pipe is large compared to the pressure
outside the pipe.

Q19:
What are the main factors that affect the performance of a packed column?
Ans: Redistributions

Q21:
What is the principal factor that determines the distillation column diameter?
Ans: Vapor flow rate

Q22:
What is the meaning of the downcomer area?
How can calculate it?
Ans: Downcomer: Vertical channels through which liquid is transferred
from a plate to a plate.
Q24:
What are the material types of packing?
Ans: Ceramic, metal, and plastic.

Q25:
What is the maximum bed height in a packed column that should be used
without liquid redistribution?
Come soon…

Q26:
What is the purpose of using serrated weirs in the distillation column?
Ans: To overcome the surface tension and If the flow rate is low

Q27:
Why should be cooled the products of the distillation column before storage?
What is the economic method for doing that?
Come soon…

Q28:
How can make sure (checking) of your calculations in the design of the
distillation column?
Ans: Do not happen the Weeping phenomenon, or entrainment, Check the
pressure drop, if too high, Check the downcomer, backup
Q29:
Is it possible for the weeping phenomenon will occur in case of using a valve
plate? Why?
Ans: Don't happen because They are essentially sieved plates as the area
for vapor flow varies with the flow rate and closing at low vapor rates.

Q30:
Is it possible to dry a bubble tray in the distillation column? Why?
Ans: It cannot be dried because the risers ensure that a level of liquid is
maintained on the tray at all vapor flow rates.

Q31: Explain the purpose of using the following figure:

Ans: To determine the K1 value and when the surface tension is less than
𝝈
0.02, we use the law [ ]𝟎.𝟐
𝟎.𝟎𝟐
Q32: For obtaining the maximum absorption efficiency
A. The liquid stream should be distributed uniformly The gas stream should
be distributed uniformly
B. Bypassing should be completely avoided
C. Both gas, as well as liquid streams, should be distributed
D. uniformly
Ans: D

Q33:
Give a suitable solution for resole entrainment phenomenon.
Ans: To increase the hole area.

Q34:
Which of the following factors determine the amount of entrainment in a
distillation column?
A. Plate spacing
B. Depth of liquid above the plate
C. Vapor velocity in the volume between the plates
D. All above
Ans: C

Q35: What is the purpose of using this table?

Ans: To determine the size of particles in packed

Q36: What is the meaning of the active area in the distillation column How can
calculate it?
Ans: Active area is the active area of gas-liquid contact

Q38: What is the purpose of the riser in the bubble cup tray?
Ans: To keep an amount of liquid on the plate at all rates of flow.

Q40: The larger depth of liquid on the trays of a distillation column will lead to:
(A) high tray efficiency
(B) higher pressure drops per tray
(C) Both A and B
(D) Neither A nor B
Ans: C

Q?
Explain this figure:

Ans: To determine the percentage flooding.

Q??
Which is the most efficient Stacked or Randomly arrangement? Why? Which is
the less pressure drop?

Ans: Stacked, Because it is arranged regularly, which causes a decrease in

pressure drop.
