SHORT DESCRIPTIVE QUESTIONS

Marks: 10 x 5 = 50

(i) Answer all Ten questions


(ii) Each question carries Five marks
S-1

What is meant by excess air in combustion systems and discuss the


importance of optimum excess air.
o

Excess air is the air provided in excess of stoichiometric air to ensure


complete combustion, since mixing between air and fuel is never perfect
in practice.

If too much excess air were allowed to enter, additional heat would be lost
by heating the surplus air to the chimney temperature. This would result in
increased stack (exhaust) losses.

Too much excess air will reduce flame temperature

Too less excess air would lead to the incomplete combustion and smoke.

High excess level increases the scale losses of the material to be heated
in the furnaces.

What is the principle of CFBC (circulating fluidized bed combustion) boiler?

Evenly distributed air is passed upward through a finely divided bed of


sand . As air velocity is gradually increased fluidisation takes place.

At high fluidizing gas velocities a fast recycling bed of fine material is


superimposed on a bubbling bed of larger particles.

The combustion temperature is controlled by rate of recycling of fine


material.

Hot fine material is separated from the flue gas by a cyclone and is
partially cooled in a separate low velocity fluidized bed heat exchanger,
where the heat is given up to the steam.

The cooler fine material is then recycled to the dense bed.

6 12 mm size fuel and limestone are injected in to the furnace.

While combustion takes place at 840 900 Deg. C., the fine particles
(<450 microns) are elutriated out of the furnaces with flue gas velocity of
4-6 m/s.

S-9

What is heat-to-power ratio of cogeneration system and state its importance?


It is defined as the ratio of thermal energy to electricity required by the energy
consuming facility.

It can be expressed in different units KWth / KWe,

Kcal/Kwh, Bth/Kwh, lb/hr/kw.


Heat-to-power ratio is one of the most important technical parameters
influencing the selection of the type of co-generation system.
The heat to power ratio of a facility should match the characteristic of the cogeneration system to be installed.

S-10

Describe in brief the principle of working of heat pipes.

The heat pipe comprises of three elements, a sealed container, capillary


wick structure and a working fluid.

Thermal energy applied to the external surface of the heat pipe causes the
working fluid near the surface to evaporate instantaneously.

Vapour thus formed absorbs the latent heat of vapourisation and this part
of the heat pipe becomes an evaporator region.

The vapour then travels to the other end of the pipe where the thermal
energy is removed causing the vapour to condense in to liquid again,
thereby giving up the latent heat of condensation.

The condensed liquid then flows back to the evaporated region.

Heat pipe can transfer upto 100 times more thermal energy than copper.

Paper 2 Set A Solutions

a) By maintaining slight positive pressure, air infiltration in the furnace through


openings and cracks is avoided.

Air infiltration results in

b)

higher heat loss due to high excess air

Lowering of the flame and furnace temperature

disturbance of the air fuel ratio control

cold metal and non-uniform metal temperature

increased power consumption of ID fan

increased scale losses

The significance of achieving optimum capacity utilisation in furnaces is to


minimize the proportionate fixed and variable energy losses. This will lead to
reduced specific energy consumption.
If the furnace is underloaded only a smaller fraction of the available heat in the
working chamber will be taken up by the load and leading to higher variable
losses and therefore efficiency will be low.
Fixed losses in the furnace is significant. Lower loading leads to increase in
fixed losses per unit of product.
So optimal loading will result in minimum losses and maximize the efficiency.

L-3

Discuss in detail four major energy conservation opportunities in steam


systems.
1.

Monitoring Steam Traps

Condensate Discharge
-

Inverted bucket and the thermodynamic disc traps should have


intermittent condensate discharge

Flout & thermostatic traps should have a continuous condensate


discharge

Thermostatic traps can have either continuous or intermittent


discharge depending upon the load

_________________________
Bureau of Energy Efficiency

13

Paper 2 Set A Solutions


If inverted bucket traps are used for extremely small loads, it will

have continuous condensate discharge.


Flash Steam
-

If steam blows out continuously in a blue stream, it is leaking steam

If a steam floats out intermittently in a whitish cloud, it is flash


steam

2.

Continuous steam blow and no flow indicate, there is a problem in the


trap
Wherever a trap fails to operate and the reasons are not readily
apparent, the discharge from the trap should be observed.

3.

Avoiding Steam Leakage


Steam leakage is a visible indicator of waste and must be avoided.
Steam leaks on a high pressure mains are prohibited, costlier than an
low pressure mains. Any steam leakage must be quickly attended to.

4.

Providing Dry Steam for Process


Wet steam reduces total heat in the steam. Also water forms a wet film
on heat transfer and overloads traps and condensate equipment.
Superheated steam is not desirable for process heating because it
gives up heat at a rate slower than the condensation heat transfer of
saturated steam.

5.

6.

Utilising Steam at the Lowest Acceptable pressure for the process

The latent heat in steam reduces as the steam pressure increases

But lower the steam pressure, the lower will be its temperature.

Therefore, there is a limit to the reduction of steam pressure.

Proper Utilisation of Directly Injected Steam


The injected steam should be condensed completely as the bubbles
rise through the liquid. This is possible only if the inlet steam pressure
are kept very low around 0.5 Kg/Sq.Cm. and certainly not exceeding
1 Kg/Sq.Cm. If pressure are high, the velocity of the steam bubbles will
also be high and they will not get sufficient time condense before they
reach the surface.

Paper 2 Set A Solutions

7.

Miminising Heat Transfer Barrier


Heat is transferred from the steam to the material being heated through
an intermediate heating surface which acts as a barrier between the
steam and the material being heated
In case of indirect heating, temperature difference is required to
overcome the resistance of the barrier between the steam and the
material. It is not just the thermal conductivity of the barrier, along side
the heat transfer barrier in an air film as well as scaling on the steam
side and scaling as well as a stagnation product film on the product
side. The barrier which are formed that inspired the flow of heat from
steam to the material. It has been estimated that air is 1500 times
more resistance to heat transfer than steel and to be removed.

8.

Proper Air Venting


Adequate air venting provision should be made at appropriate position
in the pipe lines, to purge out air as quickly as possible from the
equipment.

9.

Condensate Recovery
For every 6 deg. C. rise in the feed water temperature, there will be
approximately 1% saving of fuel in the boiler.

10.

Insulation of steam pipe lines and hot process equipments

11.

Flash Steam Recovery


Flash steam is produced when condensate at a high pressure is
released to a lower pressure. Flash steam from the condensate can be
separated in a equipment called flash vessel.

12.

Reducing the work to be done by steam


When the steam reaches the place where its heat is required, it must
be ensured that the steam has no more work to do than is absolutely
necessary.
Always use the most economical way to removing the bulk of water
from the wet material.
