Mass Transfer
Steam distillation is not recommended to be used, if the

Liquids decompose, if distilled directly at atmospheric pressure
Material can not be distilled by indirect heating even under low pressure, because of the high boiling temperature
Material to be distilled is thermally unstable or has the tendency to react with other components associated with it, at the boiling temperature
Azeotropic mixture is to be separated and the final product is miscible with water

Mass Transfer
Compound A is extracted from a solution of A + B into a pure solvent S. A Co-current unit is used for the liquid-liquid extraction. The inlet rate of the solution containing A is 200 moles of B/hr.m² and the solvent flow, rate is 400 moles of S/m². hr. The equilibrium data is represented by Y = 3X² , where Y is in moles of a A/moles of B and X is in moles A/moles of S. The maximum percentage extraction achieved in the unit is

0.25
0.7
0.9
0.5

Mass Transfer
When acetone is added in a two layer mixture of methyl isobutyl ketone and water at 30°C, the acetone distributes between the two layers and the composition of the layer follows two solubility curves. For this system,

Both the phases become identical at a particular common point on both the solubility curves called the plait point
As the acetone concentration increases, the solubility curves approach each other
The distribution curve which is a plot between x (acetone concentration in one phase) and y (acetone concentration in other phase) is analogous to x-y curve used in distillation and absorption termina
All of these
