Welcome to this assessment
It will test you general knowledge as a Project Engineer.
Good luck!
Comments are most welcome (herve.baron@gmail.com), which I will incorporate for the benefit of all.

Project Engineer knowledge test
The Heat & Material Balance (HMB) shows the flowrate, conditions and composition of process and utility streams.
Right or Wrong?
Wrong, only the process streams. Utility streams, such as cooling water flowrate etc., are defined later on, once equipment is sized and are shown on the Utility consumptions list.

Consider a process unit with an INPUT and OUTPUT.
The following is true:
INPUT flow rate (kg/hr) = OUTPUT flow rate (kg/hr) – True (mass balance)
INPUT flow rate (kmol/hr) = OUTPUT flowrate (Kmol/hr) – False, if chemical reaction has occured
INPUT enthalphy (kJ/hr) = OUTPUT enthalpy (kJ/hr) – False, if heat or mechanical work has been exchanged with outside

Which Engineering document do I need to estimate the cost of a pressure vessel?
The Process data sheet
The Mechanical data sheet, as it indicates the equipment weight from which I can estimate the cost (for pressure vessels, for instance, USD 4/kg for carbon steel and USD 12/kg for SS)

As per the piping code for Oil & Gas plants (ASME/ANSI B31.3), the wall thickness of a line
Is proportional to the line diameter
Is proportional to the square of the line diameter
Is proportionally to the line pressure
Is proportionally to the square of the line pressure
Depends on the manufacturing process of the line pipe
