  1. Cement Kiln is a

  2. A.
    rotary Kiln
    B.
    tunnel Kiln
    C.
    natural draft furnace
    D.
    batch furnace

  3. In a furnace employing forced draught as compared to induced draught,

  4. A.

  19. Ceramic recuperators compared to metallic recuperators for the same duty

  20. A.
    are lighter.
    B.
    occupy more space.
    C.
