    • C.

      Plate and frame heat exchanger

    • D.

      Air cooled heat exchanger

    Correct Answer
    A. Shell and tube heat exchanger - single pass
    Explanation
    A shell and tube heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that consists of a shell (a large pressure vessel) and a bundle of tubes inside it. The fluid to be heated or cooled flows through the tubes, while the heat transfer fluid (usually water or steam) flows around the tubes in the shell. In a single pass configuration, the fluid passes through the tubes only once, whereas in a multi-pass configuration, the fluid makes multiple passes through the tubes. Therefore, the correct answer is shell and tube heat exchanger - single pass.

    • D.

      Centrifugal pump- vertically mounted

    Correct Answer
    C. Positive displacement pump
    Explanation
    A positive displacement pump is a type of pump that moves fluid by trapping a fixed amount of it and then forcing it into the discharge pipe. This pump creates a constant flow regardless of changes in pressure or resistance in the system. In contrast, centrifugal pumps use centrifugal force to move fluid and are not as effective at maintaining a consistent flow. Therefore, the correct answer is positive displacement pump.

    • B.

      Shell and tube heat exchanger multi-pass

    Correct Answer
    B. Shell and tube heat exchanger multi-pass
    Explanation
    A shell and tube heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that consists of a shell (outer vessel) and tubes (inner vessels) through which fluid flows. In a single pass heat exchanger, the fluid flows through the tubes only once, while in a multi-pass heat exchanger, the fluid makes multiple passes through the tubes. Therefore, the correct answer is "shell and tube heat exchanger multi-pass" as it accurately describes a specific type of heat exchanger.

    Using the Timtene Unit Drawing answer the following questions. What type of equipment is E-104?

    • A.

      Electric heat tank

    • B.

      Shell and tube heat exchanger

    • C.

      Future equipment

    • D.

      External floating tank

    Correct Answer
    B. Shell and tube heat exchanger
    Explanation
    E-104 is a shell and tube heat exchanger. This type of equipment is commonly used in various industries to transfer heat between two fluids. It consists of a shell (a large cylindrical vessel) with a bundle of tubes inside it. One fluid flows through the tubes while the other fluid flows over the tubes in the shell. The heat is transferred from one fluid to the other through the tube walls. Shell and tube heat exchangers are efficient, versatile, and can handle high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

    Using the Timtene Unit Drawing answer the following questions. What type of line connects TC-36 and LC-5?

    • A.

      Mechanical link

    • B.

      Software or data link

    • C.

      Pneumatic line

    • D.

      Major process line

    Correct Answer
    B. Software or data link
    Explanation
    The Timtene Unit Drawing is a tool used to represent different components and connections in a system. In this case, the question is asking about the type of line connecting TC-36 and LC-5. Since TC-36 and LC-5 are likely to be different units or components within a system, it is unlikely that they would be connected by a mechanical link or a pneumatic line. A major process line would typically connect larger components or units, so it is also unlikely. Therefore, the most plausible option is a software or data link, which suggests that TC-36 and LC-5 are connected through a digital communication channel for data transfer or control purposes.

    Using the Timtene Unit Drawing answer the following questions. What goes into the tube side of E-104?

    • A.

      Steam

    • B.

      Hot oil

    • C.

      Cooling water

    • D.

      Rain water

    Correct Answer
    C. Cooling water
    Explanation
    The correct answer is cooling water. In the Timtene Unit Drawing, the tube side of E-104 is specified to receive cooling water. This indicates that the purpose of E-104 is to cool a particular process or equipment, and cooling water is the chosen medium for this purpose.
