Question 1
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
_____ is an important solvent for wet and edible materials.
Hexane
Acetone
Chloroform
All of the mentioned
Explanation:
Hexane is also an important solvent by acetone is preferred when the material is wet. Chloroform on the other hand is NOT for edible purposes.
Question 2
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Incrustation leads to _____
Affects safety
Damages equipment
Affects product quality
All of the mentioned
Explanation:
Incrustation leads to all of the mentioned.
Question 3
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
With respect to ammonia-water system –
Operating line will meet Equilibrium curve, false
Equilibrium curve will meet Equilibrium line, true
Operating line will meet Equilibrium line, true
All of the mentioned
Explanation:
Limiting ratio is when the Operating line will meet equilibrium curve. Gas liquid ratio = L/V. When the flow rate of liquid is high, the distance between operating line and equilibrium curve increases.
Question 4
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
After incipient fluidization, the pressure briefly _____
Increases
Decreases
Stays constant
Varies exponentially
Explanation:
After incipient fluidization, the pressure briefly decreases. This is because at incipient fluidization, the particles only become loose. They aren’t in contact with each other. They don’t start rising up. Hence, the pressure briefly decreases. Once they start moving up, the pressure increases.
Question 5
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Statement 1: When the average radius gives an error, log mean radius is used.
True, False
True, True
False, False
False, True
Explanation:
Both the statements are true.
Question 6
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Statement 1: Tubular bowl centrifuges can handle slurries.
True, False
True, True
False, False
False, True
Explanation:
Tubular bowl centrifuges are used for liquid-liquid separation. Tubular bowl centrifuges can be used for 2 phase liquid-liquid separation only.
Question 7
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
In flashing of jams, the temperature of concentrated jam _____ on flashing. Also, the vapor pressure of the concentrated jam _____
Decreases, sustains combustion
Increases, sustains combustion
Decreases, does NOT sustain combustion
Increases, does NOT sustain combustion
Explanation:
In flashing of jams, the temperature of concentrated jam decreases on flashing as the source of ignition is the solvent itself. Also, the vapor pressure of the concentrated jam sustains combustion as the temperature is brought down to the flash point which is the lowest temperature at which the vapor pressure is just sufficient to sustain combustion.
Question 8
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
In differential screen analysis, for calculating the particle size of the food particles on any one sieve, the average food particle size on that sieve is the mean of the screen opening of that sieve and the sieve below it.
True
False
Explanation:
In differential screen analysis, for calculating the particle size of the food particles on any one sieve, the average food particle size on that sieve is the mean of the screen opening of that sieve and the sieve above it.
Question 9
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Statement 1: NPr= (Cp μ)/k
True, False
True, True
False, False
False, True
Explanation:
NPr= (Cp μ)/k. Thermal Boundary layer is thicker than Hydrodynamic Boundary layer.
Question 10
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%

It is used to distribute heat uniformly to all the components of the mixture
Mixing becomes difficult when one of the phases to be mixed is in minor quantity
Solid-solid mixing is more difficult than other phases
All of the mentioned
Explanation:
All of the mentioned sentences are true with respect to mixing.
