Component in fuel % (wt) in fuel Equation Carbon 34 Hydrogen 5 Sulphur 0.1 C + O2 = CO2 12 + 32 = 44 H2 + 0.5 O2 = H2O 2 + 16 = 18 S + O2 = SO2 32 + 32 = 64 Oxygen Nitrogen Moisture 32.5 0.9 10.8 Specific stoichiometric oxygen required 2.67 (32/12) 8.0 (16/2) 1.0 (32/32) Actual stoichiometric oxygen required 90.78 (34x2.67) 40.0 (5x8) 0.1 (0.1x1) (-)32.5 - 9 Paper 2 Set A SUPPLIMENTARY Mineral matter Total 16.7 - 100 98.38 Total Oxygen required = 98.38 kg oxygen / 100 kg fuel Therefore theoretical quantity of dry air reqd. = 98.38 / 0.23 =427.7 kg air / 100 kg fuel (air contains 23% oxygen by wt.) S-2 In a sugar mill, a process requires 5000 kg/hr of dry saturated steam at 7 kg/cm2 (g). For the flow velocity not to exceed 28 m/s, determine the pipe diameter size for distribution of steam. Specific volume at 7 kg/cm2 = 0.24 m3/kg Ans. The velocity of steam maximum = 28 m/s Specific volume at 7 kg/cm2 Mass flow rate Volumetric flow = 0.24 m3/kg = 5000 kg/hr = 5000/3600= 1.389 kg/sec = 1.389 x 0.24 =0.333 m3/sec Therefore, using: Volumetric flow rate (m3/s) = Velocity (m/s) x Cross sectional area (m2) 10 Paper 2 Set A SUPPLIMENTARY D 4 Volumetric flowrate Flow velocity D 4 0.333 28 D 0.123 m or 123 mm Since the steam velocity must not exceed 25 m/s, the pipe size must be at least 123 mm; the nearest commercially available size, 150 mm, would be selected. S-3 For combustion of 500 kg/hr of natural gas containing 100% methane, calculate the percentage of CO2 in the flue gas while 15% excess air is supplied.

Calculate the percentage reduction in heat loss as a result of implementation of the above measure given the following data Boiler efficiency : 80% Surface temperature with mineral wool : 95 C Surface temperature with calcium silicate : 45 C Ambient temperature : 25 C Ans: Heat loss through non-insulated pipe = [10 + (Ts Ta) / 20] * (Ts Ta) ] Ts = Surface temperature Ta = Ambient temperature =[10 + (95 25) / 20] * (95 25) ] = 945 kcal/hr-m2 Heat loss through insulated pipe = [10 + (45 25) / 20] * (45 25) ] = 220 kcal/hr-m2 % Reduction in heat loss = (945 220) / 945 = 76.7 % S-6 In a heat exchanger, steam is used to heat 3.0 KL/hr of furnace oil from 30oC to 100oC. The specific heat of furnace oil is 0.22 kcal/ kg/oC and the density of furnace oil is 0.95 gm/cc. How much steam per hour is needed if steam at 4 kg/cm2 with latent heat of 510 kcal/ kg is used. If steam cost is Rs. 4.0/kg and electrical energy cost is Rs.6.0/kWh, which type of heating would be more economical in this particular case? (assume no losses in electrical and steam heating process) 13 Paper 2 Set A SUPPLIMENTARY Ans: Total heat required = m Cp T = (3 x 1000 x 0.95) x 0.22 x (100-30) = 43890 kcal/hr a) Amount of steam required = 43890/510 = 86 kg/hr Steam cost b) S-7 = 86 x Rs.4 = Rs. 344/hr Amount of electricity required = 43890/860 = 51 kWh = 51 x Rs. 6 = Rs.306/ hr Electrical heating will be more economical Calculate the electricity consumption in an induction melting furnace from the following melt cycle data Mild steel (MS) scrap charged : 1250 kg Specific heat of MS : 0.68 kJ/kg 0C Latent heat of MS : 270 kJ/kg MS melting temperature : 1450 0C Inlet MS charge temperature : 35 0C Efficiency of furnace : 70% Ans: Theoretical energy required for melting 270)/3600 = 1250 (0.68 x (1450 35) + = 427.8 kWh/hr or 427.8 kw 14 Paper 2 Set A SUPPLIMENTARY Actual energy input to the furnace Electricity consumption S-8 = 427.8 / 0.7 = 611.2 kWh/hr or 611.2 kw (a) Why should LPG cylinders not be stored in basements or cellars? (2.5 marks) (b) Why should the stack temperature of furnace oil fired boilers not be maintained below 160-170 C ? (2.5 marks) Ans: (a) LPG is a predominant mixture of propane and butane. Both propane and butane are denser than air. Consequently, the vapour flows along the ground into drains and sinks to the lowest level of the surroundings and gets ignited at a considerable distance from the source of leakage. Escape of even small quantities of LPG can give rise to large volume of vapour mixture and can cause considerable hazard. Hence there should be adequate ground level ventilation where LPG cylinders are stored. For this reason LPG cylinders should not be stored in cellars or basements, which have no ventilation at ground levels. (b) For fuels containing sulphur, low temperatures (below 160-170 C) of stack can lead to sulphur dew point corrosion. The main disadvantage of sulphur is the risk of corrosion by sulphuric acid formed during and after combustion, and condensing in cool parts of the chimney or stack, air preheater and economiser. -------- End of Section - II --------- 15 Paper 2 Set A SUPPLIMENTARY Section - III: LONG DESCRIPTIVE QUESTIONS Marks: 6 x 10 = 60 (i) Answer all SIX questions (ii) Each question carries Ten marks L1 Oil fired Boiler is generating 100 TPH of steam at 85% efficiency, operating 330 days in a year.
