235. Pick out the correct conversion.
1 BTU =453.6 calories
1 BTU = 252 calories
1 calorie = 252 BTU
1 calorie = 453.6 BTU
Correct answer: (B) 1 BTU = 252 calories
236. Pick out the correct statement.
A substance existing above its critical temperature is called a saturated vapor
A mixture of vapor gas is called saturated, if the equilibrium vapor pressure of the liquid is more than the partial pressure of the vapor at the same temperature
Heat added to or given up by a substance at constant temperature is called the sensible heat
The end points of a vapor-pressure vs. temperature curve are critical and triple points
Correct answer: (D) The end points of a vapor-pressure vs. temperature curve are critical and triple points
237. Pick out the wrong conversion formula for the conversion of weight units:
1 tonne = 1000 kg = 22.046 lbs
1 U.S. ton = 907 kg = 0.907 tonne = 0.893 ton
1 ton = 2240 lbs = 1016 kg = 1.016 tonnes = 1.12 U.S. tons
None of these
Correct answer: (D) None of these
238. Pick out the wrong statement about the recycle stream in a process.
Recycling in a process stream helps in utilising the valuable reactants to the maximum with minimum loss of reactants
The ratio of the quantity of a reactant present in the reactor feed of a recycling operation to the quantity of the same reactant entering the process as fresh feed is called combined feed ratio
Recycling in a process does not help in getting higher extent of reaction
Recycling is exemplified by refluxing back a part of the distillate to the distillation column to maintain the quantity of liquid within the column
Correct answer: (C) Recycling in a process does not help in getting higher extent of reaction
239. Pick out the wrong statement.
Refractories used in muffle furnace should have low thermal conductivity
The electrical resistivity of refractories drops rapidly with rise in temperature
For reducing spalling tendency, the refractory should be well fired and its porosity should be more
Refractoriness under load (RUL) of a refractory is always less than its refractoriness
Correct answer: (A) Refractories used in muffle furnace should have low thermal conductivity
240. Pick out the wrong statement:
Clausius-Clapeyron equation relates the latent heat of vaporisation to the slope of the vapor pressure curve
At the boiling point of liquid at the prevailing total pressure, saturated absolute humidity is infinite
Percentage saturation and relative saturation are numerically equal for an unsaturated vapor gas mixture
Clapeyron equation is given by dP/dT = (λ/T) (VG - VL); where, P = vapor pressure, T = absolute temperature, λ = latent heat of vaporisation, VG and VL = volumes of gas and liquid respectively
Correct answer: (C) Percentage saturation and relative saturation are numerically equal for an unsaturated vapor gas mixture
