D. Naphthenes
Que2- Solvent used in duo-sol extraction for lube oil upgradation is a mixture of A
A. propane & phenol-cresol mixture.

B. methyl ethyl ketone & glycol.

C. phenol & furfural.

D. propane & liquid sulphur dioxide.

Que3- For gasoline, the flash point (<50C) is determined by the A

A. Abel apparatus.

B. Pensky-Marten's apparatus.

C. Saybolt chromometer.

D. none of these.
Que4-Pour point and freezing point is equal for C
A. petrol

B. diesel

C. water

D. crude petroleum
Que5- Aromatics are desired constituents of D
A. lubricating oil

B. diesel

C. kerosene

D. petrol
Que6- Visbreaking B
A. uses natural gas as feed.
B. is carried out at atmospheric pressure.

C. produces fuel oil of lower viscosity.

D. produces gasoline only.

Que7- LPG when brought to atmospheric pressure & temperature will be a D
A. liquid lighter than water.

B. liquid heavier than water.

C. gas lighter than air.

D. gas heavier than air

Que8- Petroleum liquid fuels having flash point greater than 66C is considered as safe during storage
and handling. Which of the following has flash point > 66C ?
A. Naphtha D

B. Petrol

C. Kerosene

D. Heavy fuel oil

Que9- Good quality kerosene should have B

A. low smoke point.

B. high smoke point.

C. high aromatics content.

D. low paraffins content

Que10-How much heat is required to raise the tem. of 1000 lb of a 40 API mixed-base oil from
100 to 600 oF ?

Specific heat at 100c =.48

specific heat at 600c = .775
1.255
avg. specific heat from 100 to 600 =1.255/2 =0.627
heat required = 1000*(600-100)*0.627 =313500 Btu

Que11- A flue gas consists of N2,O2,CO2 and water vapor has a m.w. of 30. what is the volume
of 100 lb of this gas at 200 oF and 740 mm pressure?
vol. at 200 F = (100/30) *379*(760/740)*((460+200)/(460+60)) =1648 cu ft
what is vol. of 100 lb at 100 F and 1 psig?
vol at 100 F = (100/30)*379*(14.7/24.7)*((460+1000)/(460+60)) =2110 cu ft
volume=(100/30)*((10.7*1460)/24.7) =2110 cu ft
Que12- what is viscosity of methanol at 60 C ? specific gravity of methanol at 60 C is 0.796.

log (log 10 ) = (L/ m.w)*s.g -2.9 ....................(1)

value of L = 50.2+(3*2.7)+57.1-17 = 98.4
mw. = 32
using eqn. (1)...
= 0.225 P
Que13- what is Aniline poiint of 35 degree API diesel oil?

aniline point (F) = .4 (API)*Tb1/3 + .3 Tb -298 Tb-- rankin

T b = 270 C = 977 R
FROM above eqn. AP = 140.95 F

QUE14- Find diesel index of fuel .

diesel index = ( degree of API* AP)/1000

= ( 35*141)/1000
= 49
HERE unit of AP is F.

Que15- find the cetane number of diesel.

cetane number = .72 * diesel index +10

= .72*49 + 10
= 45028
Que16- 1000 cu ft of a flue gas is cooled from 1000 to 100 F. analysis of gas : CO 2 10%, H2O
12% ,O2 3.7% & N2 74.3%. How much heat must be removed ?

moles CO2 = (1000*.1)/379 = .264 ( 1 lb mole of gas occupies 379 cu ft at 60 F and 14.7
psia)
moles H2O =1000*.12/379 = .316
moles diatomic =(1000*.743/379)+(1000*.037/379) = 2.057

sensible heats
at 1000 F at 100F
CO2 9850 580
H2O 8650 610
diatomics 7000 478

heat removed from CO2 = .264*(9850-580) =2445 Btu

heat removed from H2O = .316*(8650-610) = 2540 Btu
heat removed from diatomics =2.057(7000-478) = 13400 Btu
total heat removed = 18385 Btu
