71. Define : Unit operation, Unit process
Unit Operation
When any physical change takes place it is Unit operation.
Change in Concentration from inlet to outlet
Example: Distillation, Filtration, Drying, Extraction, Gas absorption, Crystallization
Unit Process
When any physical change takes place it is Unit operation.
Example: - Oxidation, Reduction, Alkylation, Sulphonation, Chlorination, etc.
72. What is difference between Bubble point & Boiling Point? What is difference between Dew point and freezing point?
Bubble point : It is temperature at which first bubble of liquid is formed.
Boiling Point : It is a temperature of liquid at which vapour pressure of liquid is equal to atmospheric pressure [1 atm, 1.03323 Kg/cm²].
Explanation:
We have 2 chemicals mixture.
1. Less volatile chemical
2. High Volatile chemical
Volatility of fluid : Capability of liquid to convert into vaporize.
When initial phase of boiling starts less volatile chemical starts to vaporize.
At last high volatile chemical starts vaporizing.
Dew point : When any chemicals temperature is dropping, Whole vapour phase starts converting to liquid phase. At certain temperature there will no traces of chemical in vapour phase. This is dew point of Chemical.
Freezing point: When any liquid is converted into solid phase at 1 Atmospheric pressure. This temperature is Freezing point of fluid.
73. What is Avogadro number? What is its importance?
Numbers of molecules present in 1 mole.
Value : 6.023 * 10²³ / mole
74. What is Pressure test?
Pressure test is carried When any new Piping system or Pressure vessel is installed
For Piping system it should be capable to hold double pressure then maximum operating pressure for certain time.
For vessels and reactors it should be handle up to 1.5 times of maximum pressure for certain temperature.
If piping system is designed to 10 kg/cm² then pressure test should be carried to 20 kg/cm² [Some times this is carried on 15 kg/cm² it not recommended]
Reactor and vessel designed to 10 kg/cm² then pressure test should be carried to 15 kg/cm²
75. Which gas occupied maxim
