Q151.
__________ shapedroof is the most commonly used roof for cylinderical storage tanks.

a.

Conical

b.

Flat

c.

Dome

d.

Umbrella

Discuss
Answer: (a).Conical
Q152.
Pick out the wrong statement pertaining to 'Horton sphere' used for the storage of liquid ammonia.

a.

Diameter of Horton sphere is normally 6 to 25 metres and it is supported by 6 to 12 nos. tubular or rolled section column.

b.

Thickness of spherical shell is half that of the cylinderical vessel under same operating pressure condition. Besides, the ratio of surface area to volume is less for sphere than any other shape ; hence insulation required is less.

c.

Horton sphere is used for the storage of gases and volatile liquid at a moderate pressure of 1 to 10 kg/cm² .

d.

Horton sphere is used for the storage of liquid at sub-zero temperature at very high pressure upto 200 kg/cm² .

Discuss
Answer: (d).Horton sphere is used for the storage of liquid at sub-zero temperature at very high pressure upto 200 kg/cm² .
Q153.
Which of the following types of reactors is the safest from operation point of view ?

a.

A vapor phase reactor.

b.

Pot type reactor.

c.

A liquid phase reactor.

d.

A liquid phase catalytic reactor.

Discuss
Answer: (a).A vapor phase reactor.
Q154.
In a bag filter, the pressure drop increases directly as the

a.

density of the gas, but is independent of the viscosity of the gas.

b.

density of the gas and inversely as viscosity of the gas.

c.

viscosity of the gas and inversely as density of the gas.

d.

none of these.

Discuss
Answer: (b).density of the gas and inversely as viscosity of the gas.
Q155.
The LMTD correction factor (Fแด›) is applied in __________ heat exchangers.

a.

1-1 cocurrent

b.

double pipe

c.

all multipass

d.

all (involving liquid/liquid heat transfer)

Discuss
Answer: (c).all multipass
Q156.
Movement of pipeline caused by thermal expansion is taken care by providing

a.

expansion joint.

b.

changes in its direction.

c.

change in the shape of pipeline.

d.

all (a), (b) and (c).

Discuss
Answer: (d).all (a), (b) and (c).
Q157.
For a cylindrical shell, (subject to the thickness of uppermost course being more than the minimum for dia of the tank in question), the thickness of the courses of shell

a.

decreases upwards.

b.

increases upwards.

c.

remains same throughout.

d.

may decrease or increase upwards depending upon whether vacuum or positive pressure would be maintained inside the shell.

Discuss
Answer: (a).decreases upwards.
Q158.
In a shell and tube heat exchanger, triangular pitch arrangement as compared to square pitch arrangement

a.

results in higher shell side pressure drop.

b.

can accomodate less number of tubes for a given shell diameter.

c.

facilitates easier shell side cleaning; hence is more suitable for handling high dirt factor shell side fluid.

d.

creates relatively lower turbulence on the shell side resulting in lower shell side heat transfer co-efficient.

Discuss
Answer: (a).results in higher shell side pressure drop.
Q159.
Pick out the wrong statement about routing of fluids in a shell and tube heat exchanger.

a.

The corrosive and fouling fluid should be preferably routed through the tubes.

b.

The viscous fluid should be routed through the shell side.

c.

Lower flow rate fluid should be routed through the shell side.

d.

Higher pressure fluid stream should be routed through the shell side.

Discuss
Answer: (d).Higher pressure fluid stream should be routed through the shell side.
