(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

This is a very interesting question from Unit Operations in chapter Heat Transfer Equipment, Microwave Heating, Evaporation, Diffusion and Mass Transfer and Dehydration of Food Engineering

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) True

For explanation: Desolventization involves the recovery of the vapors which is generally not done in evaporation. Hence it is more similar to distillation than evaporation.
