Question

Match the following processes to their corresponding descriptions: Sintering, Fouling , Positioning , Coking

Hint:

In chemical engineering processes, understanding the behavior of materials under various conditions, such as heating or pressure, is key to optimizing production efficiency and reducing losses.

Answer 1

Sintering: A process in which powdered material is heated below its melting point to allow particles to fuse together, creating a solid structure. It often involves long-term exposure to heat and pressure. Fouling: A process in which unwanted materials, such as dirt or chemical residues, accumulate on surfaces, particularly in reactors or pipelines, which can reduce efficiency. Positioning: The act of aligning or placing components or materials into their correct positions in industrial processes or equipment setups. Coking: A high-temperature process used in the petroleum industry to break down heavier hydrocarbons into lighter, more useful products like gasoline.
