Unit Operations

Question 1
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Which of the following reason does NOT affect radiation between two parallel bodies?
Angle of vision
Orientation of surfaces
Emissivity of both
Smoothness and roughness
Explanation:
The angle of vision does not affect radiation between two parallel bodies. But, it is an important factor when it comes to curved surfaces.
Question 2
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Draft tubes _____ crystal-crystal attrition. Crystals _____ bottom.
Increase, should be kept on
Increase, should be kept off
Decrease, should be kept on
Decrease, should be kept off
Explanation:
Draft tubes decrease crystal-crystal attrition. Crystals should be kept off bottom so as to encourage crystal growth.
Question 3
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Statement 1: Soya bean has a high oil content.
True, False
True, True
False, False
False, True
Explanation:
Soya bean has low oil content. If the oil content is low, extraction is done by solvent extraction alone.
Question 4
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Statement 1: Radiation needs a medium to travel.
True, False
True, True
False, False
False, True
Explanation:
Radiation needs NO medium to travel. Thermal radiation is emitted by every body at a temperature above 0 K.
Question 5
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Which of the following is the cheapest filtration equipment?
Plate and frame filter press
Pressure leaf filter press
Continuous Rotary Vacuum Filter Press
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
Plate and frame filter press is the cheapest filtration equipment among all the equipment.
Question 6
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Statement 1: In microwave heating, heat is not applied to the food item.
True, False
True, True
False, False
False, True
Explanation:
In microwave heating, heat is not applied to the food item. Instead, heat is made to generate within the food item. Radiation doesn’t gives even drying whereas microwave heating does by addition of water. Water has a low dielectric constant due to the generation of friction due to the rotation of dipoles. Hence, water should be added for even heating.
Question 7
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Cellulose was added in the pulping of certain fruit juices. What is it called? Was the decision of it being added in this process of filtration correct?
Filter cloth, yes
Filter aid, yes
Filter cloth, no
Filter aid, no
Explanation:
Cellulose was added in the pulping of certain fruit juices as a filter aid. Since in this case, the filtrate is the desired product, the decision is right as the cellulose stays inside the filter cake after the process is over and doesn’t affect the filtrate.
Question 8
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Statement 1: Smaller particles dissolve as they have a larger surface area and larger particles grow.
True, False
True, True
False, False
False, True
Explanation:
Smaller particles dissolve as they have a larger surface area and larger particles grow. The above process is called Ostwald ripening.
Question 9
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
_____ gives the relationship between the concentration of gas entering stage n and concentration of liquid leaving stage n.
Equilibrium curve
Operating line
Equilibrium line
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
Operating line gives the relationship between the concentration of gas entering stage n and concentration of liquid leaving stage n.
Question 10
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Statement 1: Filter cake increases the efficiency of filtration.
True, False
True, True
False, False
False, True
Explanation:
Filter cake increases the efficiency of filtration as it offers some amount of resistance. Filter aid is added to the filtrate when the filter cake is the desired product.
