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.

Which of the following is correct ?
A Rate = Driving force × Resistance
B Driving force = Rate × Resistance
C Resistance = Driving force × Rate
D Rate = Resistance/Driving force
Correct Answer: Driving force = Rate × Resistance
Pick out the wrong statement ?
A Superheated steam is preferably not used for process heating because of its low heat transfer film co-efficient
B In a shell and tube heat exchanger, the shell pressure drop is maximum for orifice baffles
C S.I. unit of fouling factor is Watt/m2.°K
D Longitudinal fins are used in extended surface heat exchangers, when the direction of fluid flow is parallel to the axis of the tube
Correct Answer: S.I. unit of fouling factor is Watt/m2.°K
