Low temperature oxidation of coal resulting from bad storage conditions does not decrease its
(a) Caking Power (b) Calorific Value
(c) Hydrogen Content (d) Oxygen Content

Fusion point of coal ash increases with increase in its--------- content

(a) Iron Carbonate (b) Iron Sulphide
(c) Lime and Magnesia (d) Alumina and silica

In Calorific value of bituminous coal is about -------Kcal/Kg

(a) 2000 (b) 5000
(c) 7000 (d) 10000

To avoid fire by spontaneous combustion of coal due to its low temperature oxidation, it should be
stored in
(a) Shallow & small piles
(b) Fine sizes without the presence of any lump
(c) Closed space without any ventilation facility
(d) Large heaps with small surface to volume ratio.

What is not a manufactured fuel?

(a) Furnace oil (b) Bagasse
(c) Semi-coke (d) Keroscene

Total 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 of the above.

The presence of sulphur in organic and sulphate form can be determined by

(a) Analytic method (b) Ultimate method
(c) Analytical and Ultimate method (d) Ultimate and Analytical method

Gross & net calorific value of a fuel will be the same.

(a) If its ash content is zero
(b) If its carbon content is very low
(c) If its hydrogen / hydrogen compound content is zero
(d) Under no circumstances.

Which of the following is called as elemental analysis

(a) Proximate analysis
(b) Ultimate analysis
(c) Both (a) and (b)
(d) None
