Statement 1: Drop-wise condensation takes place on a smooth surface.
True, False
True, True
False, False
False, True
Explanation:

Pass Ratio : 100%
Statement 1: In a dairy industry, it is desired to obtain the cream from milk using a centrifuge. Which will stay in the center?
Cream, a small neutral zone
Milk, a small neutral zone
Milk, a large neutral zone
Cream, a large neutral zone
Explanation:
In a dairy industry, it is desired to obtain the cream from milk using a centrifuge. The cream which is the lighter liquid will stay in the center and milk will splash out radially.

According to Nusselt’s film theory, the film thickness decreases as we move from bottom to top. The heat transfer increases.
True
False
Explanation:
According to Nusselt’s film theory, the film thickness increases as we move from bottom to top. The heat transfer decreases.
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.

Which of the following is untrue?
It is difficult to predict the electric field intensity inside a food material
Design of oven plays an important role in determining the electric filed intensity in a food material
Orientations of microwaves is an important role
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
It is difficult to predict the electric field intensity inside a food material. Design of oven plays an important role in determining the electric filed intensity in a food material. Orientations of microwaves is an important role.
Question 10

Pass Ratio : 100%
One disadvantage with backward feeding is that the feed gets very concentrated at the beginning few units itself and hence it’s difficult to feed it to the next evaporator unit.
True
False
Explanation:
One disadvantage with forward feeding is that the feed gets very concentrated at the beginning few units itself (due to direct steam supply with provides high heat) and hence it’s difficult to feed it to the next evaporator unit.
