    • 2. Which of the following is the most detrimental for water used in high pressure boiler?

    • Options
    • A. Silica
    • B. Turbidity
    • C. Phenol
    • D. Dissolved oxygen

    • 4. For most salts, the solubility increases with rise in temperature, but the solubility of __________ is nearly independent of temperature rise.

    • Options
    • A. sodium chloride
    • B. sodium carbonate monohydrate

    • 5. Smog is

    • Options
    • A. nothing but black smoke.
    • B. a combination of smoke and fog.
    • C. a liquid particle resulting from vapor condensation.
    • D. a solid particle e.g. flyash.

    • 6. 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).
