CHEMICAL ENGINEERING- 2003 , PAPER –I, SECTION B

                            Time Allowed: Three Hours     maximum Marks: 200
Candidates should attempt Questions 1 and 5 which are compulsory, and any THREE of the remaining questions selecting at least ONE question from each Section. Assume suitable data. If considered necessary, and indicate the same clearly.
  
SECTION B

5.       Answer any four of the following:
(a)    Explain the phenomena of reverse osmosis. Discus the characteristics of membrane required for this process.

(b)   Discuss the failure of vessels based on theory of plasticity.

(c)    Name various types of heads commonly used in cylindrical vessels, along with their sketches and areas of application.

(d)   Determine an expression for frequency response of a transportation lag. Show it graphically also.

(e)   Discuss ratio control and its application in process industries. Give tow examples.

6.       (a) What is ultrafitration? Discuss the dependence of membrane permeation rate on applied pressure difference fed solute concentration and cross flow velocity for ultra filtration.

                        (b) Discuss low pressure distillation along with its application in industries.

                         (c)  Explain (i) membrane fouling and (ii) membrane selectivity in separation processes using membrane.
                         (d) Explain the working principle of dialysis.

7.       (a) Explain coate’s theoretical analysis for bending stress at the head-shell junction of a vessel.
                       (b) Discuss the design procedure of skirt supports for vertical vessels.

                       (c)  A process requires a shell to be designed to contain a working pressure of 200 MN/ m². The shell temperature is 400⁰ C. inside diameter and length of the shell have been estimated to be 500 mm and 4000 mm, respectively. If carbon steel having an allowable stresses of 10.40 x 10² MN/ m²is used as material of construction of the shell, determine suitable thickness of the shell.

8.       (a) What are various devices which can be used for absolute pressure measurement? Discuss any one of them which can be used with continuous recording system.

                       (b) Discuss two important characteristics of a control valve.

                       (c) Describe the procedure for the design of sampled data controller in a system.

                       (d) How do you find the frequency response of a PID controller? Explain it.
