Mass Transfer Operations - 1
It is a process that takes place in a tray distillation column where the liquid is moved up to the tray above by the vapor and is primarily brought on by a high vapor flow rate.
What is Entrainment?
It is also known as the Modified Carnot Cycle and involves the use of constant-pressure heat engines to transform thermal energy into mechanical work.
What is the Rankine Cycle?
It is a piece of equipment that is put to use in situations in which there is a significant disparity in the densities of two different liquids that cannot mix.
What is a Continuous gravity decanter?
He was the first scientist to put forth the wave theory of light.
who is Christiaan Huygens?
The mineral dolomite is the ore of this substance.
What is Calcium?
This is a phenomenon that takes place in porous media when the mean pore width of the medium is significantly less than the mean free route of the gas.
What is Knudsen diffusion?
Thermodynamically speaking, this phenomenon is the result of a fluid's expansion from high pressure to low pressure while maintaining the same enthalpy.
What is the Joule Thomson Effect or Throttling Process?
An object's speed is measured relative to the speed of sound using this dimensionless number.
What is the Mach Number?
He was the first person to point out Isaac Newton's mistake in estimating the speed of sound in air and offer a correction.
Who is Laplace?
It can only be determined for elementary reactions and is defined as the number of colliding molecules required to produce a chemical reaction.
What is Molecularity?
In 1951, he was the researcher who made the modification to Higbie's penetration theory.
Who is Danckwert?
This sentence says, "It is impossible to make a device that works in a cycle and does nothing but transfer heat from a cooler body to a hotter body."
What is Clausius's Statement?
It is a point on the surface of a solid body that is submerged in a fluid stream and is located at the point where the local velocity of the flow of the fluid becomes zero.
What is a Stagnation Point?
It is the point at which a body that is floating begins to oscillate when a slight angular displacement is applied to it.
What is a Metacentre?
This polymer has phenol and formaldehyde as its monomers.
What is Bakelite?
This is a quantity without dimensions that is defined as the ratio of the rise in the mole fraction of vapor that occurs when a plate moves through a column of a volatile component to the same increase that occurs when the vapor is at equilibrium.
What is the Murphree Plate Efficiency?
In the context of a heat pump, refrigerator, or air conditioning system, it is a dimensionless number representing the ratio of useful heating or cooling given to the effort required by the system.
What is the Coefficient of Performance?
This equation relates pressure drop to packing size, bed length, fluid viscosity, and fluid density and can be used to determine the pressure drop throughout the length of the packed bed for a given fluid velocity.
What is Ergun's Equation?
This is a type of electrical discharge caused by the ionization of the air around a charged conductor.
What is Corona Discharge?
This method is typically reserved for sulphide minerals and involves heating the ore to temperatures over its melting point in the presence of air or oxygen.
What is Roasting?
He was the scientist who first proposed the equation that is used to determine the theoretically minimal number of plates needed to separate a binary feed stream in a distillation column operating at total reflux.
Who is Merrell Fenske?
It is a measurement of the degree to which the chemical potential of the component in the gas deviates from the chemical potential of some reference.
What is Fugacity?
It is a phenomenon that occurs when the static pressure of a liquid decreases to a level that is lower than the liquid's vapor pressure. This results in the production of small cavities in the liquid that are filled with vapor.
What is Cavitation?
An electrical circuit in which the resistance of an unidentified electrical component is measured using two bridge circuit legs.
What is Wheatstone Bridge?
Light rays hitting a colloid will be scattered by the particles in the colloid. All colloidal fluids and certain extremely fine suspensions exhibit this phenomenon.
What is Tyndall Effect?
