Answer / anand

actually above 350-375 oC temp. the crude oil is going to
crack and the light product will form. but the main aim of
this distillation process is to seperate the various
fractions rather than producing the light product. so to
avoid this the residue of the atmospheric distillation
tower is processed under vacuum above 350 oC and we get the
various types of product which will be useful for making
various types of lubricating oil, mineral oil, transformer
oil, quenching oil etc.

Answer / sourya

All the fractions that can be separated by the distillation
process under atmospheric conditions is separated in the ADU
and the higher molecular weight fractions that crack under
those conditions to produce carbon(petroleum coke) is
removed as the bottoms and then passed on to the next Vacuum
Distillation unit(VDU) for recovery of all the higher fractions.

Answer / dhanashree

The main aim of distillation is to obtained various
petroleum product at various temp. & press. for that
recovery ,distillation system require rage of temp. As
petrolium products are heighly explosive, catches fire at
low temp.Vaccum distillation is used in petroleum refinery.
Becouse under vaccum the boiling point of liquid get lowers
down & pressure required is also less.

Answer / pushkar deo

It is a process for getting vacuum distilates for
lubricating oil and to get feed for FCC.

GENETIC ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 27.2 : (a) Three genes, I, J and K are available. All these genes are linked with respect to one another. If the percent recombination between I and J is 8 %, that between J and K is 10 %, and that between K and I is 18 %, what is the order of the gene? (b) Twenty six genes, a, b, c, d, e, f, ... x, y and z are available. All these genes are linked with respect to one another. If the percent recombination between a and b is 3 %, between b and c is 3 %, between c and d is 3 %, ... between w and x is 3 %, between x and y is 3 %, between y and z is 3 %, then what is the percentage recombination between b and y?

Question 64 – According to a heuristic of chemical engineering plant design, assume a pressure difference dP = 4 psi for each 10-ft rise in elevation. A pump is needed to pump liquid from a storage tank at a lower elevation to a heating tank at a higher elevation with the elevation difference of 60 ft. (a) Find the pressure loss due to such elevation. (b) If the required minimum inlet pressure to the heating tank is 9 psi, with 1 control valve is installed between pump and heating tank, what is the dP minimum required for the control valve and the entrance to the heating tank when the heuristic mentions that at least 10 psi is required for the control valve? (c) The pressure at the inlet of the pump is 8 psi and the flowrate of the liquid produces pressure head of 50 psi. What is the total pressure produced by the pump? (d) Assume a pipeline dP of 2 psi / 100 ft for liquid flow in a pipe according to heuristic, what is the approximate maximum length of the pipe in ft that can be installed between the pump and the heating tank?
