Which of the following statements is/are not correct about the HTU and NTU concepts?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for statements that are not accurate regarding the HTU (Height of a Transfer Unit) and NTU (Number of Transfer Units) concepts in mass transfer operations. It implies that some of the provided statements may be true and the task is to identify the false ones.
Answer
The larger the value of HTU, the more efficient is the mass transfer operation. A smaller number of transfer units will be required for a very high purity product.
The larger the value of HTU, the more efficient is the mass transfer operation. A smaller number of transfer units will be required for a very high purity product.
Answer for screen readers
The larger the value of HTU, the more efficient is the mass transfer operation. A smaller number of transfer units will be required for a very high purity product.
More Information
HTU (Height of Transfer Unit) and NTU (Number of Transfer Units) are critical parameters in mass transfer operations. NTU represents the measure of separation difficulty, while a larger HTU indicates less efficient mass transfer. High purity often requires more transfer units.
Tips
Misunderstanding HTU and NTU concepts can lead to inefficiencies in designing mass transfer equipment.
