BCM One Marks & Two Marks Question With Answer
POWER PLANTS
1.Factors to be considered in choosing Steam Power plants is
a)Fuel transport facility b) Distance from the populated area c) Water sources d) All the
above.
9. The boilers used to operate above 150 bar pressure are known as
a) Low Pressure Boilers b) High Pressure Boilers
c) Medium Pressure Boilers d) None of these
Steam power plant, Hydel power plant, Diesel power plant, Nuclear
power plant, Gas turbine power plant, Wind power plant, Solar power plant,
Geo thermal power plant and Tidal power plant.
1.Feed water and steam flow circuit 2.Coal and ash circuit 3.Air and
gas circuit 4.Cooling water circuit
It receives the waste heat from the flue gases and utilizes the heat to
raise the temperature of feed water.
9.Mention the reason for preferring steam power plant to other power plants:
2.Installation time required for the plant is less than hydro power
13.What are the factors to be considered for site selection of a hydro power
plant?
1.Availability of water 2.Water storage capacity 3.Distance from
the load center 4 Type of land.
It can start quickly and possess easy pick up. Fuel handling and
storage is easy.
35.Define pump:
37.What is priming?
The entire operation of completely filling the suction pipe, casing and
a portion of the delivery pipe up to delivery valve with the liquid to be pumped is
called priming.
42.Define boiler:
The boiler is to convert water into steam by the application of heat. Boiler is a
heat exchanger and it has found application in thermal power plants.
b)Horizontal boilers
In water tube boilers, water flows inside the tubes and drums and the hot flue
gases flow over the tubes. Eg Babcock and Wilcox, La-mont and Benson.
They are used for the safe operation of the boiler and provided with every boiler.
Safety valve, Pressure gauge and fusible plugs.
The boiler in which steam is generated at high pressure (above 100 bar) and high
temperature (above 5400C) are known as high pressure boilers. Eg Lamont and
Benson boilers
