Which of the following will generate maximum volume of product of complete combustion (Nm3/Nm3 of fuel) ?

Correct answer: C. Natural gas

  • A. Carburetted water gas
  • B. Blast furnace gas
  • C. Natural gas
  • D. Producers' gas

Explanation

Natural gas is mainly methane, whose complete combustion forms about one volume of CO2 and two volumes of water vapour per volume of fuel, giving a large product-gas volume. The other listed gases contain substantial inert gases or less combustible material, so their product volume is lower.
