Consider the following

I. Wood II. Coke III. Charcoal IV. Peat
V. Tar
Which of the following is/are secondary type of fuels?
(a) I, II and IV (b) II, III and V
(c) I, III and IV (d) II, IV and V

Consider the following statements

I. Moisture and Volatile matter content are determined by dividing weight loss with that of the sample
weight
II. Moisture and Ash content are determined by dividing weight loss with that of the sample weight
III. Volatile matter does contain moisture and Ash content is determined not by weight loss method.

Which of the following is/are true?

(a) Only I (b) Only II
(c) Only III (d) I, II and III

In dry ash free basis reporting, the proximate analysis consists of

I. % Mositure II. % Ash
III. % Volatile matter IV. % Fixed carbon

(a) I and II (b) II and III

(c) III and IV (d) I and IV

Ash content in coal is present in the form of

(a) Inherent inorganic material
(b) Extraneous in nature
(c) Both (a) and (b)
(d) None

In furnaces where coal is used to heat material below its melting point then melting point of ash when
compared to furnace temperature should be
(a) Higher (b) Lower
(c) Same (d) None

Total mineral matter is calculated by

(a) 1.08%A + 0.55%M (b) 1.08%M + 0.55%VM
(c) 1.08%M + 0.55%S (d) 1.08%A + 0.55%S

During coal formation

(a) Oxygen content increases, carbon content increases and volatile matter decreases
(b) Oxygen content increases, carbon content decreases and volatile matter increases
(c) Oxygen content decreases, carbon content increases and volatile matter decreases
(d) Oxygen content decreases, carbon content decreases and volatile matter increases

Assertion (A): Volatile matter content on dry ash free basis is less than volatile matter content on dry
mineral matter free basis.
Reason (R): Fixed carbon does not include ash content.
(a) Both A and R are true, R is the right explanation of A
(b) Both A and R are true, R is not the right explanation of A
(c) A is true and R is false
(d) A is false and R is true

Assertion (A): Liquid fuel oil is not considered as natural resource

Reason (R): Petroleum is obtained by drilling the rock
(a) Both A and R are true, R is the right explanation of A
(b) Both A and R are true, R is not the right explanation of A
(c) A is true and R is false
(d) A is false and R is true

Coalification process is dependent on

I. Temperature II. Time III. Pressure
(a) Only I (b) Only II (c) Only III (d) All of these
