  3. Coke ovens in steel plant are heated by

  4. A.
    electricity
    B.
    coke oven gas
    C.
    mixed gas
    D.
    both(b) & (c)

  5. Coke oven gas is a better fuel than blast furnace gas, because of its higher

  6. A.
    calorific value, cleanliness and relatively low distribution cost (due to its low specific gravity).
    B.
    adiabatic flame temperature.
    C.
    heat release rate (thus requiring smaller combustion chamber).
    D.
    all (a), (b) and (c).

  7. Short/intense flame is produced during combustion of gaseous fuel by using

  8. A.
    high amount/current of combustion air.
    B.
    low amount/current of combustion air.
    C.
    preheated secondary air.
    D.
    very little excess air.

  9. By-products recovery process from coal carbonisation is termed as direct, indirect and semi direct process depending upon the method of recovery of

  10. A.
    tar
    B.
    benzol
    C.
    ammonia
    D.
    none of these

  11. Naphthalene is removed from coke oven gas by

  12. A.
    scrubbing with wash oil (a petroleum product).
    B.
    adsorbing on bog iron bed.
    C.
    absorbing in vetro-coke solution.
    D.
    none of these.

  13. Coke oven gas compared to blast furnace gas is

  14. A.
    more explosive and inflammable.
    B.
    less poisonous.
    C.
    lighter.
    D.
    all (a), (b) and (c).

    B.
    Coke oven gas
    C.
    Water gas
    D.
