Q. Which of the following is a name of an actual viscometer?

View solution

Q. Statement 1: Brookfield viscometer is an example of Coaxial Cylinder Viscometer.
Statement 2: Working principle of a Brookfield viscometer: Two coaxial cylinders. Liquid is filled in between them. The viscosity produces torque which is directly proportional to the shear stress.

View solution

Q. Statement 1: Brookfield viscometer is very robust, is supported by software and even shows values of K and n, but, sometimes particles suspended in the fluid cause problems.
Statement 2: Drawbacks of plate and cone viscometer: edge-effects, turbulence and temperature effects.

Q. During evaporation of edible solutions, the BPR-boiling point rise should be _____ and the foaming and scale formation should be _____

View solution

Q. Which of the following is true while concentrating jams?

View solution

Q. Statement 1: Boiling point rise is due to the colligative properties due to the presence of solid particles in the solvent.
Statement 2: Boiling point rise is due to the increase in pressure at the bottom of the solvent due to hydro-static head of the column.

Q. Statement 1: Duhring’s rule states that the ratio of temperatures at which two solutions have the same vapor pressure is constant.
Statement 2: Duhring’s rule states that the boiling point of a solution is a linear function of the boiling point of pure water at the same pressure.

Q. Statement 1: In a multiple effect evaporator, the overall temperature drop is equal to the individual drops at each step.
Statement 2: In a multiple effect evaporator, the total area is equal to the sum of the individual areas.

Q. Statement 1: Forward feeding requires pumps for the feed at every step.
Statement 2: In a backward feeding arrangement, the most concentrated feed is exposed to the maximum steam in order to remove heat. This is its advantage.

View solution

Q. 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.

View solution

Q. Mixed feed arrangement offers the advantage of omitting the usage of pumps by transferring feed in the direction of low pressure. That’s an advantage taken from forward feeding arrangement.

Q. At a food processing industry, the steam was re-compressed and a small amount of steam at high pressures and temperatures was sent into the next evaporation chamber in a multiple effect evaporator. Which of the following is true with respect to the above sentences?

View solution

Q. Statement 1: Horizontal tube evaporator is easy for cleaning.
Statement 2: Horizontal tube evaporator has a disadvantage of hindering agitation of the feed.

View solution

Q. Statement 1: In a rising film evaporator, the feed can be very viscous.
Statement 2: In a rising film evaporator, the feed cannot be heat sensitive.

View solution

Q. In a rising film evaporator, the temperature difference need not be as high as that in a falling film evaporator.

Q. Plate evaporators are used in recovering aroma from fruit juices.

View solution

Q. Statement 1: Scraped surface evaporators are used in the dairy industry.
Statement 2: Plate evaporators can be used for viscous liquids.
