SECTION – A 

1.       Answer any FOUR  of the following :
(a)    What is Bernoulli equation? Determine it for the flow of a compressible fluid in a pipeline.
(b)   Discuss with the help of a sketch, the principle of steam jet ejector for creating vacuum.
(c)    Explain the mechanism of heat transfer in nucleate pool boiling of liquids.
(d)   Discuss penetration theory of mass transfer. How does it differ from surface renewal theory?
(e)   Describe the construction and working of a Swenson- Walker crystallizer.

2.       (a) Discuss differential and cumulative methods of screen analysis.

                          (c) What is area meter? Explain its operation.
                         (d)  Determine an expression for terminal velocity of solid particles settling freely in a fluid stream. Modify the above expression for the case of hindered settling.

3.       (a) Differentiate between free and forced convection. Describe the procedure to calculate heat transfer coefficient under free convection
                           (b) Explain effectiveness of a heat exchanger. Obtain its expression for a parallel flow heat exchanger in terms of NTU and capacity ratio.
                          (c) Discuss the effect of boiling point elevation on the capacity of an evaporator.
                          (d) Define emissivity of a body. How is it related to binary system?

4.       (a) Derive Rayleigh equation for differential distillation of a binary system.
                           (b) Discuss pressure drop characteristics of packed columns and explain the significance of flooding point.
                          (c)  Explain the mechanism of moisture movement during drying of a solid.
                         (d)  Briefly explain the construction and operation of a packed extractions tower.
