Maximum viscosity of tar/PCM/fuel oil for easy and efficient atomisation in conventional burner is _______________ centistokes (or 100 Redwood I seconds) ?

Correct answer: B. 25

  • A. 5
  • B. 25
  • C. 50
  • D. 100

Explanation

Conventional burners can atomise fuel efficiently up to about 25 centistokes, equivalent to roughly 100 Redwood I seconds. Higher viscosity produces larger droplets and poorer mixing, so preheating may then be needed.
