Fuels and Combustion
For which pair of the fuel gases, calorific value (C.V.) of one fuel is almost double that of the other on volume basis (i.e., kcal/Nm³ ), while the C.V. is same on weight basis (i.e., kcal/kg) ?
It is abrasive to the coal pulveriser (ie.g. ball mill) and the combustion chamber
The ash in molten condition gets absorbed in the pores of the refractory lining of the furnace and causes its spalling due to different co-efficient of expansion/contraction of the refractory and the
The ash retains the sulphur & phosphorus and thus affects the quality of products in metallurgical furnace apart from increasing the slag volume. Besides, it may fuse and stick to the boiler tubes
