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.

View solution

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.

Q. Industry A is low on budget and is used in the sugar industry. Industry B wants to invest in a good evaporator. They are needed for meat extracts. Which evaporators will you suggest for each of them?

View solution

Q. A major reason as to why evaporators and their selection for different applications in the food industry is very important is because ______

View solution

Q. Desolventization which is done in certain evaporators is more similar to distillation than evaporation.

View solution

Q. In flashing of jams, the temperature of concentrated jam _____ on flashing. Also, the vapor pressure of the concentrated jam _____

View solution

Q. In plate evaporator, the heat transfer coefficient is high in spite of low residence time because _____

View solution

Q. Shifting of a pair of ripened apples from the store house to the vegetable cart is called mass transfer.

View solution

Q. Statement 1: When alcohol is allowed to move from chamber A to chamber B when a barrier between them is removed, it is called multi phase diffusion.
Statement 2: When oxygen is made to diffuse into the water, it’s called continuous molecular diffusion.

View solution

Q. Velocity gradient is the main driving force in mass transfer.

View solution

Q. Statement 1: A phase boundary exists between alcohol and oxygen.
Statement 2: Phase boundary varies with agitation. It is inversely proportional to the amount of agitation provided.

View solution

Q. A phase boundary between alcohol and water exists.

View solution

Q. Statement 1: Diffusion is faster than convective mass transfer.
Statement 2: Mass transfer is proportional to the area of contact.
