Question 1 (10 marks)

A Herschel-Bulkley fluid (density of 1150 kg/m3) is expected to be transported to another unit
operation in a mass flow rate of 15000 kg/h. It has been identified that this fluid is having a
consistence index of 5 Pa.sn and a flow behavior index of 0.65. Given that the total traveling
distance is 300 m with mechanical energy losses no more than 85 J/kg, determine the smallest
possible diameter of the transport piping with a liquid yield stress of 25 Pa. [20 marks]

Question 2 (10 marks)

(a) There are generally 3 classification of unit operations. Briefly describe them with 1
example. [6 marks]

(b) The knowledge of chemical Engineering is essential to ensure the normal operation in
most industries. Describe any 4 reasons. [4 marks]
