Coke oven gas is a better fuel than blast furnace gas, because of its higher________________?
Correct answer: D. All A., B. and C.
- A. Calorific value, cleanliness and relatively low distribution cost (due to its low specific gravity)
- B. Adiabatic flame temperature
- C. Heat release rate (thus requiring smaller combustion chamber)
- D. All A., B. and C.
Explanation
Coke oven gas has higher calorific value, burns more cleanly, and is relatively inexpensive to distribute because its specific gravity is low. It also gives a higher flame temperature and heat-release rate than blast furnace gas, so all three statements apply.
