Question 1: In a piping design, what is the effect of pipe bends on flow?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

They increase flow velocity

They reduce friction losses

They increase friction losses and can cause turbulence

They have no significant impact

Question 2: What is the role of automation in safety system design?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Automation is primarily concerned with reducing labor costs, not safety

Automation is used solely to increase production speed

Automation is mainly used for aesthetic purposes in safety designs

Automation helps in fast, accurate responses to hazardous situations and ensures compliance with safety standards

Question 3: Which safety interlock would be most critical for preventing catastrophic failures in a chemical reactor?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

An interlock that adjusts the color of warning lights based on operational status

An interlock that monitors aesthetic quality of the reactor

An interlock that shuts down the reactor if temperature or pressure exceeds safe limits

An interlock that controls the flow of raw materials based on availability

Question 4: In designing equipment layout, how does traffic flow influence decisions?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It ensures that the layout supports the movement of personnel and materials while maintaining safety

Traffic flow only affects the placement of non-essential equipment

Traffic flow has no impact on equipment placement, as it is irrelevant to the process

It is prioritized only when the plant is operational

Question 5: What is the role of air filtration in HVAC system design for a chemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To remove contaminants and particulate matter from the air to maintain safe working conditions

To ensure that only clean air is circulated through office spaces

To optimize the airflow rate and reduce system noise

To regulate the temperature in different parts of the plant

Question 6: In process flow design, how does the liquid-gas separation process typically work in a petrochemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By using centrifugal force to separate phases

By using filtration techniques to separate particles

By simply applying heat to cause phase change

By using gravity separators or distillation columns to separate phases based on density differences
