Separation Processes Questions and Answers – Multicomponent Flash, Bubble Point and Dew Point Calculations

This set of Separation Processes Assessment Questions and Answers focuses on “Multicomponent Flash, Bubble Point and Dew Point Calculations”.

1. What is a flash?
a) It is a single-equilibrium stage distillation where the feed is partially vaporized to give a vapor feed rich in more volatile components.
b) It is a double-equilibrium stage distillation where the feed is partially vaporized to give a vapor feed rich in more volatile components
c) It is a single-equilibrium stage distillation where the feed is completely vaporized to give a vapor feed rich in more volatile components
d) It is a single-equilibrium stage distillation where the feed is partially vaporized to give a vapor feed rich in less volatile components
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: A flash is a single-equilibrium stage distillation where the feed is partially vaporized to give a vapor feed rich in more volatile components.

2. When is flashing a replacement for distillation?
a) When the relative velocity is high
b) When the relative velocity is low
c) When the relative volatility is high
d) When the relative volatility is low
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Unless the relative volatility is high, flashing is not a replacement for distillation.

10. What is true about vapor- liquid equilibrium?
a) Vapor is at its dew point and liquid at its bubble point
b) Vapor at its bubble point and liquid at its dew point
c) Both the liquid and vapor at dew point
d) Both the liquid and vapor at bubble point
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Whenever there is a vapor-liquid equilibrium, the vapor is at its dew point and the liquid is at its bubble point.
