1. There are five concentric layers within the atmosphere which is differentiated on the basis of temperature. The atmospheric layer which lies close to the earth's surface in which human being along with other organisms live is called troposphere. The rate at which air temperature in the troposphere gradually decreases with height is about __________ °C/km.
A. A slight haze at the top of chimney indicates good combustion in the furnace.
B. A bag filter incurs very small pressure drop and is very efficient for removal of sub-micronic dust particles from flue gases at very high temperature.
C. Electrostatic precipitator is the most efficient dust collection equipment for removal of sub-micronic dust particles present in flue gas.
Correct Answer: A bag filter incurs very small pressure drop and is very efficient for removal of sub-micronic dust particles from flue gases at very high temperature.
5. The maximum CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere by
7. Sooty and sulphurous smog formed due to combustion of fossil fuels particularly in winter, continues throughout the day and night. When the moist atmospheric air's water vapor condenses on the solid particles of smoke thereby forming smog (smoke + fog), it causes
