Difference between Gas and Vapour


Answer:
Vapour can turn back and forth into liquid and solid states but a gas cannot.
Gases cannot be seeing while vapours are visible.
Vapours settle down on ground while gases do not.

2. Difference between Boiling Point and Melting Point


Answer:
The melting point is a defined for solids when it transfers from solid state to liquid
state.
The boiling point is defined for liquids for a state change from liquid to gas.
Boiling point is highly dependent on the external pressure whereas the melting point
is
independent of the external pressure

3. Difference between Liquid and Aqueous


Answer: Liquid is a state of matter, while aqueous is a special type of liquid formed by dissolving a
compound in water
All aqueous solutions are liquids, but not all liquids are aqueous solutions.

4. State the difference between ultimate and proximate analysis of coal?


Answer: In ultimate analysis, chemical determination of following elements is made by weight:
Fixed
and combined carbon, H, O, N, S, water and ash. Heating value is due to C, H and S.
In proximate analysis following constituents are mechanically determined by weight. Moisture,
volatile matter, fixed carbon and ash heating value is due to fixed carbon and volatile matter.

5. What is the difference between total moisture and inherent moisture in coal?
Answer: The moisture content of the bulk as sampled is referred to as total moisture, and that of
the
air dried sample is called inherent moisture.
6. What is the difference between nuclear fission and fission chain reaction?
Answer: The process of splitting of nucleus into two almost equal fragments accompanied by
release
of heat is nuclear fission. Self sustained, continuing, sequence of fission reactions in a controlled
manner is fission chain reaction.

7. What is the difference between isentropic process and throttling process?


Answer: An isentropic process is a reversible adiabatic process in which entropy remain constant.
While throttling is a process of expansion through a constricted passage keeping enthalpy constant
8. What is the difference between heat transfer and thermodynamics?
Answer: Heat transfer deals with the energy analysis which in transition and depends on the
modes
of heat transfer like conduction, convection and radiation or combination of any modes. Heat
transfer deals in non equilibrium domain and conditions while thermodynamics deals with study of
system at equilibrium and does not depend on how heat transfer is calculated.
9. What is the difference between nuclear fission and fission chain reaction?
Answer: The process of splitting of nucleus into two almost equal fragments accompanied by
release
of heat is nuclear fission. Self sustained, continuing, sequence of fission reactions in a controlled
manner is fission chain reaction.
