Draught produced by a tall chimney due to density difference between hot flue gas inside the Chimney and atmospheric air outside the chimney is more appropriately known as the __________ draught.
The draught produced by a steam jet issuing from a nozzle placed in the ash-pit under the fire grate of the furnace is called
The draught produced by a steam jet issuing from a nozzle placed in the ashpit under the fire grate of the furnace is called ___________
Determine the height of the chimney to produce a static draught of 22mm of water if the mean flue gas temperature in chimney is 290oC and ambient temperature in boiler house is 20oC. The gas constant for air is 29.26Kgm/Kgk and for chimney flue gas is 26.2 Kgfm/Kgk. Assume reading as 760mm of mercury?
The draught (in mm of water), for maximum discharge of flue gases through the chimney, is given by (where H = Height of the chimney in meters and T1 = Absolute temperature of air outside the chimney in K)
Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and click the button corresponding to it. The first working steam­ powered vehicle was designed and most likely built by Ferdinand Verbies, a Flemish member of a Jesuit mission in China around 1672. It was a 65 cm long scale­ model toy for the Chinese Emperor, that was unable to carry a driver or a passenger. It is not known if Verbiest's model was ever built. Nicolas- Joseph Cugnot is widely credited with building the first full­ scale, self ­propelled mechanical vehicle or automobile in about 1769; he also created a steam­ powered tricycle. He constructed two steam tractors for the French Army, one of which is preserved in the French National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts. His inventions were however handicapped by problems of water supply and maintaining steam pressure. In 1801, Richard Trevithick built and demonstrated his Puffing Devil road locomotive, believed by many to be the first demonstration of a steam ­powered road vehicle. It was unable to maintain sufficient steam pressure for long periods. Sentiment against steam ­powered road vehicles led to the Locomotive Acts of 1865. In 1807 Nicephore Niepce and his brother Claude probably created the world's first internal combustion engine which they called Pyreolophore. The first full­scale, working steam ­powered tricycle was built by:

The draught produced by steel chimney as compared to that produced by brick chimney for the same height is
The velocity of steam leaving the nozzle (V) is given by (where K = Nozzle coefficient or nozzle efficiency and hd = Enthalpy or heat drop during expansion of steam in a nozzle)
The air pressure at the fuel bed is reduced below that of atmosphere by means of a fan placed at or near the bottom of the chimney to produce a draught. Such a draught is called
