Chemical Engineering MCQs designed for job test and interview preparation, particularly for fresh graduates, students, and candidates appearing in competitive exams. These multiple-choice questions cover important topics such as the fundamentals of chemical engineering, chemical processes, chemical reactions, process control, and instrumentation, along with other key concepts in the field.

For a tubular reactor with space time ‘η’ and residence time ‘ζ’, the following statement holds good ?
A η and θ are always equal
B η = θ, when the fluid density changes in the reactor
C η = θ, for an isothermic tubular reactor in which the density of the process fluid is constant
D η = θ, for a non-isothermal reactor
Correct Answer: η = θ, for an isothermic tubular reactor in which the density of the process fluid is constant
