Process Equipment and Plant Design Mcqs

Our collections of Multiple choice questions and answers focuses on study of Process Equipment and Plant Design in Chemical Engineering. These questions are chosen from a collection of most authoritative and best reference books on Chemical Engineering. Our aim is to prepare an individual for competitive exams like NTS, GAT, ECAT, MDCAT, Teaching jobs Tests and Chemical industry job interviews. One should practice our Mcqs to assimilate knowledge on Process Equipment and Plant Design comprehensively.
