- Question
Laboratory gas is obtained by the cracking of
Options- A. gasoline
- B. diesel
- C. fuel oil
- D. kerosene
- Correct Answer
- kerosene
- 1. A coal with high ash content is undesirable, as
Options- A. it is abrasive to the coal pulveriser (ie.g. ball mill) and the combustion chamber.
- B. the ash in molten condition gets absorbed in the pores of the refractory lining of the furnace and causes its spalling due to different co-efficient of expansion/contraction of the refractory and the ash.
- C. the ash retains the sulphur & phosphorus and thus affects the quality of products in metallurgical furnace apart from increasing the slag volume. Besides, it may fuse and stick to the boiler tubes thereby reducing the heat transfer.
- D. all (a), (b) and (c). Discuss
- 2. Improper storage condition results in the weathering of coal and spontaneous combustion, which increases its
Options- A. caking index.
- B. yield of carbonised products.
- C. friability & oxygen content.
- D. calorific value. Discuss
- 3. Higher percentage of ash in coal meant for the production of metallurgical grade coke
Options- A. decreases the hardness of coke.
- B. decreases the abrasion resistance of coke.
- C. causes brittleness in steel.
- D. none of these. Discuss
- 4. A coal having high amount of volatile matter
Options- A. would require smaller combustion chamber.
- B. produces very little of tar and gas on carbonisation.
- C. ignites easily and burns with long smoky flame.
- D. all (a), (b) and (c). Discuss
- 5. Actual flame temperature is always lower than the adiabatic flame temperature, because there is
Options- A. no possibility of obtaining complete combustion at high temperature.
- B. always loss of heat from the flame.
- C. both (a) and (b).
- D. neither (a) nor (b). Discuss
- 6. When incomplete combustion loss is high, the flue gas analysis shows large amount of
Options- A. CO2
- B. CO
- C. O2
- D. C Discuss
- 7. The internal energy of the combustion products is __________ compared to that of reactants.
Options- A. more
- B. less
- C. equal
- D. more or less ; (depends on the state of fuel.) Discuss
- 8. Combustion of pulverised coal as compared to that of lump coal
Options- A. develops a non-luminous flame.
- B. develops a low temperature flame.
- C. can be done with less excess air.
- D. provides a lower rate of heat release. Discuss
- 9. Pick out the wrong statement.
Options- A. LPG is also used as fuel for automobiles & small furnaces and for cutting & welding of metals.
- B. The minimum temperature, at which a petroleum oil vapor catches fire and continues to burn, is called its flash point.
- C. Each ton of petroleum oil on distillation produces about 30-50 Nm3 of gas.
- D. Maximum yield of naphthalene is obtained on distillation of crude oil. Discuss
- 10. 'Wobbe index' is a characteristic of
Options- A. solid fuels
- B. gaseous fuels
- C. liquid fuels
- D. fat coals Discuss
