In high temperature carbonisation of coal compared to low temperature carbonisation ?
A Yield of ammonia is less
B Aromatic content of tar is low
C H2 content in the coke oven gas is more
D Calorific value of the coke oven gas is lower
Correct Answer: H2 content in the coke oven gas is more
Presence of free moisture in coal during its high temperature carbonisation _____________________?
A Reduces the coking time
B Protects the volatile products from pyrolysis (cracking) in the presence of hot coke and hot
C Increases the loss of fine coal dust from the ovens when charging
D None of these
Correct Answer: Protects the volatile products from pyrolysis (cracking) in the presence of hot coke and hot
The optimum percentage of excess air for combustion depends upon the _______________ of the fuel?
A Type (solid, liquid or gaseous)
B Calorific value
C Sulphur content
D Ignition temperature
Correct Answer: Type (solid, liquid or gaseous)
Pick out the wrong statement ?
A Theoretical flame temperature is the temperature attained by the products of combustion, when the fuel is burned without loss or gain of heat
B Burning the fuel with theoretically required amount of pure oxygen results in attainment of maximum adiabatic flame temperature
C Burning the fuel with excess pure oxygen results in maximum theoretical flame temperature
D Adiabatic flame temperatures of actual combustions are always less than the maximum values
Correct Answer: Burning the fuel with excess pure oxygen results in maximum theoretical flame temperature
Pick out the wrong statement ?
A Main constituents of LPG are propane and butane
B C.V. of natural gas is about 10000 KCal/Nm3
C C.V. of LPG is about 26000 kcal/Nm3 (11500 kcal/kg)
D L.P.G. is lighter than air
Correct Answer: L.P.G. is lighter than air
Pick out the wrong statement ?
A Cokes of high reactivity are obtained from weakly coking coals
B Cokes of high reactivity are obtained from strongly coking coals
C Reactivity of coke is inversely proportional to its absolute density
D Abrasion index of the coke is a measure of its hardness
Correct Answer: Cokes of high reactivity are obtained from strongly coking coals
Pick out the correct statement ?
A Oxygen content decreases from lignite to bituminous coal as the coalification increases
B The less the oxygen content, better is the coal, as it reduces the calorific value
C With increase in oxygen content, moisture holding capacity of coal increases and the caking power decreases
D All A., B. and C.
Correct Answer: All A., B. and C.
