SECTION A
Briefly describe the working principle of a steam jet ejector, along with
its performance.
Discuss the dependency of temperature on the viscosities of gases and
liquids.
Describe various types of dryers with sketches and applications.
In liquid-liquid extraction, describe the selection criteria of good
solvents.
A grey body of 20 m2 area, radiates 106 W at 1227°C. Calculate the
emissivity of grey body. If the temperature is increased to 1327°C, what
would be the percentage change in emissive power ?
Countercurrent stripping of ammonia from a dilute solution by air is
carried out in a sieve tray column having 6 trays. The equilibrium
relationship is given by y, = 0-85 x,.
90 percent of ammonia is removed when the molar flow of air is
1-5 times that of the solution.
(i) Calculate the ideal stages of the column and stage efficiency.
(ii) | Find the percentage removal, if the air rate of flow is increased to
2 times the solution rate.
Rivers are the source of water supply for factories. Water at the rate of
2 x 10° kg/hr has to be pumped from a river to a factory overhead tank,
placed at a height of 25 metres from the river bed, the total length of
pipeline being 1500 metres. The iron pipe having an inside diameter of
30 cm has been used for this pumping. The viscosity of river water is
0-764 cP and friction factor is given by f = 0-0014 + a] .
Calculate :
(i) The Reynolds number (Re), if p = 1 gm/cc
(ii) The head loss due to friction.
The wall of a furnace is constructed from an inner layer of 0-6 cm thick
steel (k = 40 W/mK) and an outer layer of 10 cm brick (k = 2-5 W/mK).
The inner surface temperature is 900 K and the outside surface
temperature is 480 K. Calculate the heat loss from the furnace per unit
area and also the temperature at the interface. Assume steady state
exists and effects at the corners and edges of the wall are negligible. The
temperatures at the surface are uniform.

A hot moving body is 0-62 m long, 0-2 m wide and 0-1 m deep. The
surface temperature of the hot body is 350 K. Find the rate of heat flow
(heat loss) from the hot body to the atmosphere at 276 K at a speed of
29 m/s. The conditions are such that boundary layer may be assumed
turbulent over the entire surface. The radiation from the hot body may
be neglected. The same average convection heat transfer coefficient, as
for the bottom and sides, may be used for the front and rear surfaces.
The properties of air at the average temperature are given as :
Density = 1-092 kg/m; Viscosity = 19-123x10-6 N.s/m?2.
Thermal conductivity = 0-0265 W/m.K,
Specific heat = 1014 J/kg.K, Prandtl Number = 0-71.

Crushing is an important method for size reduction of solid particles.
Estimate the energy required to crush 1 x 10° kg/hr of sodium silicate, if
80% of the feed passes through a screen 3-75 cm aperture and 80% of the
product passes through a screen with 0-03 cm aperture. The work index
(Wj) for sodium silicate is 13-1.
A spherical naphthalene ball of 10 gm is kept suspended in a large
volume of air at 45°C and one atm pressure. Diffusivity of naphthalene
in air Dap=6-92 x 10-6 m*/s, and density p=1-14 gm/cc. The
sublimation pressure at 45°C is 0-8654 mmHg. Calculate the time
required for sublimation of 7 gm of naphthalene. Molecular weight of
naphthalene is 128.

A 20% NaOH solution is concentrated in an evaporator. 4500 kg/h of this
solution enters the evaporator at 333 K and the product contains 50%
solids. The pressure of saturated steam used is 172-4 kPa and the
pressure in the vapour space of evaporator is 11-7 kPa. The overall heat
transfer coefficient is 1565 W/m? K. Calculate the heating surface area
required and the steam economy of the evaporator.
The heat capacity of superheated steam may be taken as 1-884 kJ/kg.K.

liquids in vessel.
For handling and storage of 98% sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid,
what materials do you recommend for storage economically ?
(b) An organic solution in 0-05 molar NaCl needs to be separated by
ultrafiltration. The filtration is gel layer controlled. The feed
concentration is 0.01 gm/mL and gel concentration is 0.4 gm/mL. The
charge number of organic molecule is 10e and radius 0-005 micrometer.
Calculate the permeate flux.
Data : Mass transfer coefficient 5 x 10-5 m/s.
(c) Express the transfer function (C/R), for the following block diagram.
