General questions

Difference between stripper and scrubber?
     A scrubber is absorption tower, it can be a simple spray tower or pack tower  or tray tower. It is used for absorption of gases. While stripper is used to separate absorbed gases from a liquid.

What is critical temperature and pressure?
     The temperature and pressure at which two phase of a substance exist is called critical temperature and pressure. Gaseous phase exist only above the critical temperature and pressure.

What is azeotrop?
     A liquid mixture with nearly same boiling pointof components is called azeotrop.

What is azeotropic distillation?
     A distillation process in which third component added as a azeotrop for a desired separation.

What is a dew point?
     It is a point at which first drop gets condensed from vapour to the liquid phase. Here partial pressure will be equal to the vapor pressure.

What is sub-cooled temperature in distillation tower?
     When the distillation column feed enters the column below the bubble point of the mixture, the feed is called sub-cooled.

Difference between vapor pressure and partial pressure?
  • Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by the vapor on the liquid when the vapor and liquid in contact with each other.
  • Partial pressure is the pressure exerted by the individual component in a mixture is called partial pressure.
Why are microorganisms important in chemical engineering?
  1. They are important for biochemical engineering and fermentation process.
  2. Used in decomposition of materials.
  3. They help to reduce BOD and COD in wastewater treatment.
  4. They are main reason for enzymatic reaction.
What is the difference between mass and energy balance?
  • Mass balance concerns about the amount of the materials and the rate they are entering or           existing from the process.
  • Energy concerns about the works and hear that done by the system.
What are the design considerations for a piping system for the transfer of slurries?
    The following points must be considered for designing a piping system to carry slurries:
  1. The  design of the piping system must be able to self drain.
  2. At the sections of the pipe where self draining is not possible provision to install manual drain must installed.
  3. In order to make flushing possible clean-out connections should be installed on either side of the main valves.
  4. For easy access all the manifolds should have flanged connections.
  5. T-connections are a must for access flanges.
