Q-1 Venturi scrubbers are effective for the collection of fine particles, usually smaller than 2-3

microns in diameter. They are particularly suitable when the particulate matter is sticky, flammable or
highly corrosive.

Select one:
True
False
Q-2 The dry adiabatic lapse rate in the atmosphere is around 10 degree centigrade per 1000
metres.
Select one:
True
False
Q-3 The gravitational settling chambers and cyclone separators will not generally achieve high
efficiency for removing small-size particles. They are normally used as precleaners prior to passing
the gas stream through high efficiency collection devices like fabric filters, electrostatic precipitators
and wet collectors (scrubbers).
Select one:
True
False

Q-4 The decrease in temperature with altitude is known as the lapse rate.
Select one:
True
False

Q-5 Cyclone separators are effective in the removal of much smaller particles than gravitational
settling chambers and require much less space to handle the same gas volumes.
Select one:
True
False

Q-6 The simplest device used for sampling particles larger than 10 microns in diameter is the
dustfall collector.
Select one:
True
False
Q-7 The high-volume filtration method is popular for measurement of the mass concentration of
suspended particulates smaller than 10 microns.
Select one:
True
False

Q-8 Gravitational settling chambers are generally used to remove particles smaller than 50 microns
from gas streams.
Select one:
True
False

Q-9 In air pollution control, the most popular means of gas cleaning (removal of gases from effluent
gas streams) is the packed tower.
Select one:
True
False

Q-10 In particulate sampling under isokinetic conditions, the static pressure at the tip of the probe
must be equal to the static pressure in the free stream at the same cross section. This implies that
when the two pressures are equalized then the corresponding velocities must be equal.
Select one:
True
False
Q-11 When the environmental lapse rate is greater than the dry adiabatic lapse rate, the
atmosphere is said to be subadiabatic.
Select one:
True
False

Q-12 Cyclone performance (collection efficiency) can be measured in terms of the cut size dpc
which is the size of those particles that are collected with 100 percent efficiency.
Select one:
True
 False

Q-13 In a Howard type settling chamber, chamber velocities below 3 m/s are satisfactory for
avoiding re-entrainment of most particles.
Select one:
True
False

Q-14 In a particulate collection system, the collection efficiency is more for smaller particle size and
it is less for larger particle size. The collection efficiency is inversely proportional to the particle size
to be removed.
Select one:
True
False

Q-15 In the case of buoyant plumes, the influence of vertical momentum is much greater than the
influence of buoyancy.
Select one:
True
False

Q-16 Coning plume occurs when the plume is dispersed in the presence of very light winds as a
result of strong atmospheric inversions.
Select one:
True
False

Q-17 In the case of gaseous stack sampling, it is not necessary to sample at isokinetic conditions.
Select one:
True
False
Q-18 The radiation inversion is potentially more serious than subsidence inversion.
Select one:
True
 False
Q-19 In the troposphere, the environmental lapse rate is found to be about 6.5 degree centigrade
per 1000 metres.
Select one:
True
False
Q-20 When the environmental lapse rate and the dry adiabatic lapse rate are exactly the same, it is
said to be a neutrally stable atmosphere. A rising parcel of air would experience no buoyant force.
Select one:
True
False
