Separation Processes Questions and Answers – Mass Transfer in Laminar Flow

This set of Separation Processes Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Mass Transfer in Laminar Flow”.

1. The equation of motion for the liquid film in fully developed laminar flow in y-direction is:
a) µd2uy/dx2 + ρg =0
b) µd2uy/dy2 + ρg =0
c) µd2uy/dz2 + ρg =0
d) µd2uy/dx2 = 0
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Flow is in y direction but changes with respect to z-direction.
Hence the equation of motion is µd2uy/dz2 + ρg =0.

4. What value of reynold’s number represents a laminar flow?
a) 3
b) 2500
c) 5000
d) 78
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Only the value of 78 lies between 8 and 1200. SO it represents a laminar flow.

5. Which of the following is correct about Reynold’s number?
a) 3less thanNreless than1200
b) 3less thanreless than1600
c) 25less thanreless than1200
d) 8less thanreless than1200
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: 8less thanreless than1200 are the correct boundary conditions for Reynold’s number.

6. Prandtl’s number is the ratio of which two quantities?
a) Momentum conductivity and thermal conductivity
b) Coefficient of convection to thermal conductivity
c) Momentum diffusivity and thermal diffusivity
d) Interfacial force and viscous force
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Prandtl’s number is the ratio of Momentum diffusivity and thermal diffusivity.

7. Which of the following is true about prandtl’s number?
a) Npr = Cpµ/k
b) Npr = Cpk/µ
c) Npr = Cvµ/k
d) Npr = Cpµ
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Prandtl’s number is the ratio of Momentum diffusivity and thermal diffusivity. Hence the formula is Npr = Cpµ/k.
