Which is the most thermally efficient furnace _______________________?
Correct answer: D. Boiler furnace
- A. Reheating furnace
- B. Reverberatory furnace
- C. Rotary kilns
- D. Boiler furnace
Explanation
A boiler furnace is thermally efficient because heat released by combustion is transferred directly to boiler water, while the steam-generation system also permits effective recovery of flue-gas heat. Reheating, reverberatory, and rotary-kiln furnaces generally lose more heat with hot exhaust gases and furnace walls.
