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.

A centrifugal pump is used to pump water through a horizontal distance of 150 m, and then raised to an overhead tank 10 m above. The pipe is smooth with an I.D of 50 mm. What head (m of water) must the pump generate at its exit E. to deliver water at a flow rate of 0.001 m3/s? The Fanning friction factor, f is 0.0062 ?
A 10 m
B 11 m
C 11.8 m
D 30 m
Correct Answer: 11 m

Fluid flow through a packed bed is represented by the ______________ equation?
A Fanning’s
B Ergun’s
C Hagen-Poiseuille’s
D None of these
Correct Answer: Ergun’s
The location of centre of pressure, which defines the point of application of the total pressure force on the surface, can be calculated by applying the principle of moments according to which “sum of the moment of the resultant force about an axis is equal to the sum of the components about the same axis”. The centre of pressure of a rectangular surface (of width ‘w’) immersed vertically in a static mass of fluid is at a depth of (where, y = depth of the liquid) ?
A 1/(y/3)
B 2y/3
C 1/(y/4)
D 3y/4
Correct Answer: 2y/3
