Note: Question No. 1 is compulsory, attempt any two question from the remaining. (2x 5)
Q.1 (a) What is power alcohol?Give its merits and demerits.
(b) Diffrentiate between High and Low temprature carbonization.
(c) Explain octane number and cetane number.
(d) What is auto catalysis?
(e) Explain the term eutectic point and eutectic mixture.
Q.2 (a) Give a labelled phase diagram of water system and discuss the importance of
triple point. (6, 4 )
(b) Explain the acid and base catalysys with reactions.
Q.3 (a) Distinguish between gross and net calorific value of a fuel. (2, 3, 5 )
(b) What is proximate analysis of coal?
(c) How calorific value of fuel can be determined by Boy’s gas calorimeter ? Explain
with the help of neat diagram.
Q.4 (a) Define the term: (2, 3, 5 )
(i) Adsorption (ii) Adsorbate (iii) Adsorbent
(b) Explain the terms (i) Phase (ii) Component and (iii) Degree of freedom. How are
they related ?
(c) The following data were obtained in a bomb calorimeter expriments.
Wt. of Coal burnt = 0.994 g
Wt. of water in calorimeter = 2592 g
Wt. of bomb, calorimeter etc = 3940 g
Rise in temperature of water = 2.7320C
Mean specific heat of apparaus = 0.098
Find the gross calorific value of fuel. If the fuel contains 8% hydrogen, calculate its
lower calorific value.(Latent heat of condensation of steam = 587 cal/g).
