With decrease in the throughput (compared with the design capacity) for a bubble cap distillation column, its efficiency
increases
decreases
remains same
may increase or decrease ; depends on individual design

25.
Plate towers are preferred to packed towers, when large temperature changes are involved, because of the reason that the
packing may be crushed due to thermal expansion/contraction of the components of the equipments.
pressure drop in the equipment will be . very high.
viscosity variation of the fluids may cause channeling/flooding.
none of these.
