6. MESH stands for?
a) Material, equilibrium, summation and heat
b) Mass, equilibrium, simulation and heat
c) Makeup, equilibrium, subject and heat
d) Material, equilibrium, summation and Height
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: MESH stands for Material, equilibrium, summation and heat, all these components are equally important for the column specifications and design analysis.

7. When a solution is said to be formed?
a) All MESH equation are zero
b) All MESH equation are infinite
c) All MESH equation are satisfied
d) All MESH equation are unity
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: When all MESH equation are satisfied a solution is said to be formed, when MESH are zero this represent the error in calculations.

8. Murphree equation is used for calculating?
a) Stage calculation
b) Equilibrium condition
c) Reflux ratio
d) Tray efficiency
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Murphree equation is used for calculating Tray efficiency and reflux ratio is calculated as L/D and equilibrium conditions given by y* = x.

9. The term KijVj/Lj is called
a) Stripping factor
b) Absorption Factor
c) Reflux Ratio
d) Boil up
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The term KijVj/Lj is called Stripping factor, where Kij represents the k factor and V and L are gas and liquid flow rates respectively.
