This set of Power Plant Engineering Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Heat of Combustion-I”.
1. Internal energy of combustion products is ______________ than that of reactants.
a) less
b) more or less (depends on state of fuel)
c) same
d) more
View Answer
Explanation: The internal energy of combustion is given by uRP=UP-UR which gives a negative value.
2. Higher efficiency in combustion of solid fuel cannot be achieved by ___________
a) keeping flue gas temperature very high
b) proper fuel preparation
c) supplying correct quantity of combustion air
d) adopting efficient fuel-firing technique and equipment
View Answer
Explanation: Keeping flue gas temperature very high does not result in increased efficiency of solid fuel.
3. Bomb calorimeter is used determine the calorific value of ___________
a) solid fuels
b) liquid fuels
c) both solid and liquid fuels
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Bomb calorimeter can be used to determine the calorific value of both solid and liquid fuels.
4. Which of these is not a reason for reduction in maximum flame temperature in actuality?
a) incomplete combustion
b) heat loss to exhaust gases
c) excess air requirements
d) heat loss to surroundings
View Answer
Explanation: Maximum flame temperature is defined on the temperature of products; hence it cannot be a reason for reduction in flame temperature.
5. Grindability index of a coal is 100. It implies that the __________
a) coal can be easily pulverised
b) coal can be pulverised with great difficulty
c) coal can’t be pulverised
d) power consumption in grinding the coal will be very high
View Answer
Explanation: Grindability of an object is the ease with which the object can be reduced into powdered form. A measure of the same is the Grindability index of coal.
6. Tar yield in the low temperature and high temperature carbonisation of dry coal may be respectively __________ percent.
a) 10 & 3
b) 3 & 10
c) 15 & 8
d) 10 & 20
View Answer
Explanation: Tar yield in the low temperature and high temperature carbonisation of dry coal may be respectively 10 & 3 percent.
7. High amount of sulphur and phosphorous in coke causes __________
a) decrease in its calorific value
b) increase in its strength
c) brittleness of steel made by using it
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: None of the effects are caused by the increased strength of sulphur & phosphorus in coke.
8. The difference between the enthalpy of products & the enthalpy of reactants when complete combustion occurs at specific temperature & pressure is called?
a) Enthalpy of burning
b) Enthalpy of Combustion
c) Enthalpy of complete combustion
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Enthalpy of Combustion is defined as, “The difference between the enthalpy of products & the enthalpy of reactants when complete combustion occurs at specific temperature & pressure”.
9. The internal energy of products minus the internal energy of reactants for complete combustion at specific temperature & pressure gives the internal energy of?
a) combustion
b) partial combustion
c) complete combustion
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The internal energy of products minus the internal energy of reactants is called the internal energy of combustion.
10. HCV stands for?
a) Higher Combustion Value
b) Higher Convection Value
c) Higher Calorific Value
d) Higher Calorific Value
View Answer
Explanation: HCV is an acronym for High Calorific Value.
