10. Number of equations associated with 6 process stream, if the number of species in the stream are 4?
a) 6
b) 24
c) 36
d) 72
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The number of equations associated with process streams is generally calculated using the formula: Number of equations = (Number of streams)×(Number of species)
Here,
Number of streams = 6
Number of species = 4
Number of equations=6×4=24
