Which gaseous fuel has a very low heating value?(a) Blast furnace gas(b) Coke oven gas(c) Water gas(d) Mond gasThis question was posed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.This key question is from Gaseous Fuels & Nuclear Fuels in section Steam Power Plant of Energy Engineering

Answer»

The correct option is (a) BLAST furnace gas

The best explanation: Blast furnace has a very LOW HEATING value. It is obtained as a by-product during blast furnace operation. Due to HIGH percentage of DUST content it should be purified before use. It has a calorific value ranging between 3800 KJ/m^3 to 4200 kJ/m^3. It is used as a fuel in gas engines in steam generation and in steel plants.
