Which of the following is a natural draft furnace?
Blast furnace stoves
Power plant boilers
Sintering furnace
None of these
✅ The correct answer is option A.
Amount of coal lost in ash particle, which is carried through the boiler system, depends upon the
Physical nature, ash content and fineness of the coal
Amount of excess air supplied and load on the boiler
Type of burner and combustion chamber
All of the above
✅ The correct answer is option D.
Rotary kilns are used in the
Calcination of limestone & dolomite
Cement manufacture
Both A and B
Neither A nor B
✅ The correct answer is option C.
Reducing atmosphere is maintained in a
Calcination kiln
Blast furnace
Soaking pit
L.converter
✅ The correct answer is option B.
In practical operation of any furnace, zero oxygen percentage or theoretical CO₂ percentage in flue gas is rarely achieved, because of
Use of non-preheated combustion air
Use of pulverised solid fuels
Imperfect mixing of fuel & air and infiltration of air
Use of excessive positive draft in the furnace
✅ The correct answer is option C.
The reason for excessive clinker formation in gas producers is the
Use of coal/coke containing a high % of fines and ash
Use of fuel having too low an ash fusion temperature
Development of hot spots in the fuel bed and an abnormally high rate of gasification
All of the above
✅ The correct answer is option D.
