A sample of coal containing the following elements: C=90%; H=5%; ash=4%; weight of the coal burnt=0.90g; weight of the water taken=600g; water equivalent of bomb calorimeter=2000g; rise in temperature=2.48oC; fuse wire correction=10cal; cooling correction=0.02oC; acid correction=50 cal. Calculate net and GCV of coal in cal/g. Assume latent heat of steam is 580cal/g.

Correct Answer: HCV=7155.55cal/g; NCV=6894.55cal/g
For HCV we can use the formula HCV = (W+w) (t2-t1+cooling corrections)-(acid + fuse corrections)/weight of the fuel. So, the NCV can be given by subtracting the 0.09H*latent heat of steam from HCV.

Calculate the HCV and NCV of the coal for the following data. Weight of the coal=0.8g Water equivalent of calorimeter=460g Weight of the water=2600g Rise in temperature=2.42oC Cooling corrections=0.052oC Fuse wire corrections=10 calories H=6% and assume latent heat of steam=600cal/g.

Concentrated fermentation liquid containing 20% (w/w) gluconic acid from an evaporator has a flow rate of 2000 kg/h and a temperature 90 °C. It needs to be cooled to 6 °C in a heat exchanger with cooling water. The cooling water has a flow rate 2700 kg/h and an initial temperature 2 °C. If the cooling water leaves the heat exchanger at 50 °C, what is the rate of heat loss from gluconic acid solution to the surroundings? Assume the heat capacity of gluconic acid is 0.35 cal/g-°C-1.

In a surface condenser, the water flowing through a series of tubes at the rate of 200 kg/hr is heated from 15 degree Celsius to 75 degree Celsius. The steam condenses on the outside surface of tubes at atmospheric pressure and the overall heat transfer coefficient is estimated at 860 k J/m2 hr degree. Find the effectiveness of the heat exchanger. At the condensing pressure, stream has a saturation temperature 0f 100 degree Celsius and the latent heat of vaporization is 2160 k J/kg. Further, the steam is initially just saturated and the condensate leaves the exchanger without sub-cooling i.e. only latent heat of condensing steam is transferred to the water. Take specific heat of water as 4 k J/kg K

What is the condition for a tree to be weight balanced. where a is factor and n is a node? >= a*weight and weight >= a*weight. b) weight >= a*weight and weight >= a*weight. c) weight >= a*weight and weight >= a*weight. d) weight is a non zero

Calculate the GCV and NCV of a fuel from the following data. Volume of the fuel burnt at STP is 0.08m2.Weight of the water used for cooling is 24kg.Temperature of inlet and outlet water is 25oC. and 30oC respectively. Weight of water obtained by steam condensation is 0.02kg.

The first working steam­ powered vehicle was designed and most likely built by Ferdinand Verbies, a Flemish member of a Jesuit mission in China around 1672. It was a 65 cm long scale­ model toy for the Chinese Emperor, that was unable to carry a driver or a passenger. It is not known if Verbiest's model was ever built. Nicolas- Joseph Cugnot is widely credited with building the first full­ scale, self ­propelled mechanical vehicle or automobile in about 1769; he also created a steam­ powered tricycle. He constructed two steam tractors for the French Army, one of which is preserved in the French National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts. His inventions were however handicapped by problems of water supply and maintaining steam pressure. In 1801, Richard Trevithick built and demonstrated his Puffing Devil road locomotive, believed by many to be the first demonstration of a steam ­powered road vehicle. It was unable to maintain sufficient steam pressure for long periods. Sentiment against steam ­powered road vehicles led to the Locomotive Acts of 1865. In 1807 Nicephore Niepce and his brother Claude probably created the world's first internal combustion engine which they called Pyreolophore. The first full­scale, working steam ­powered tricycle was built by:
