58. In a recuperative air preheater, the heat is transferred

  1. from a metal wall from one medium to another
  2. from heating an itermediate material and then heating the air from this material
  3. by direct mixing ,
  4. heat is transferred by bleeding some gases from furnace
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (A)
from a metal wall from one medium to another

59. In a throttling process

  1. steam temperature remaisn constant
  2. steam pressure remains constant
  3. steam enthalpy remains constant
  4. steam entropy remains constant
  5. steam volume remains constant.

Correct answer: (C)
steam enthalpy remains constant

60. In accelerated circulation type boiler

  1. heating takes place at bottom and the water supplied at bottom gets converted into the mixture of stdam bubbles and hot water which rise to durm
  2. water is supplied in drum and through downcomers" located in atmospheric conditon it passes to the water wall and rises to durm in the from of mixture of water and steam
  3. feed pump is employed to supplement natural circulation in water wall type furnace
  4. water is converted into steam in one pass without any recirculation
  5. water is fed under high pressure and high velocity.

Correct answer: (B)
water is supplied in drum and through downcomers" located in atmospheric conditon it passes to the water wall and rises to durm in the from of mixture of water and steam
