The terminal velocity of a particle depends on all the mentioned factors.

Basket centrifuge cannot be used for liquid-liquid separations.

Horizontal tube evaporator is easy for cleaning as the evaporator part can be easily dismantled from the rest of the equipment parts. Horizontal tube evaporator has a disadvantage of hindering agitation of the feed as it is present outside the horizontal tubes.

Vibro-fluidized bed dryer can reduce the air flow rate consumptions as air is only used for drying and not for fluidizing. Mechanical vibratory motion is used for fluidization. Screw conveyors are often called desolventizers because the main purpose is to remove the solvent from the pastes and not to recover it.

Excess supersaturating followed by cooling only leads to primary nucleation. That’s like the formation of only the first crystal. Secondary nucleation is due to the agglomeration of crystals which is desirable.

Plate and frame filter press is the cheapest filtration equipment among all the equipment.

When there is a mixture of liquids present, the boiling point lies between the boiling points of both the components.

Power required for an ungassed system Po is more than that required for a gassed system Pg. This is because when gas is sent into the fluid via a nozzle, the density of the fluid near the impeller decreases and hence the power required for it is lesser.

Drain pipes are present to remove Condensate.

Intermediate meshes can be accommodated in Tyler series and the ratio of one mess size to the intermediate mesh will have the ratio of 4th root of 2
