Fuels and Combustion
White flue gas (resembling steam) coming out of the chimney of a thermal power plant indicates that the fuel used in the boiler furnace is
Reducing the cracking of hydrocarbons in the gas and increasing the percentage of CO & H₂ in the gas (due to the endothermic reaction represented by C + H₂O = CO + H₂)
Controlling the dust nuisance while charging the coal
