Combustion of pulverised coal as compared to that of lump coal ________________?

Correct answer: C. Can be done with less excess air

  • A. Develops a non-luminous flame
  • B. Develops a low temperature flame
  • C. Can be done with less excess air
  • D. Provides a lower rate of heat release

Explanation

Pulverising coal greatly increases its surface area, allowing faster and more complete combustion with better air-fuel mixing. Consequently, pulverised-coal firing can operate with less excess air than lump-coal firing.
