     Chemical Composition.
     Function.
     Typical Values.
     Fuel and Types of Engines.
     Methods of Measuring.
     Additives.
    5. What are the considerations that must adopted in emulsion treatment in crude oil?
    6. Give the comparisons for TBP,ASTM and EFV distillation Curves related to:
     Feed.
     Methods of Measuring.

    Q2.A) Mention All types of Insulation that can be used for Base, Walls and Roof of Furnaces.

    B) It is required to heat 2000 bbl/day of 37 ºAPI crude oil in a fired heater from 220 ºF to 650 ºF using
    refinery gas. NHV =1700 BTU/lb, as a fuel. In the radiant section, the heat rate is 45000 BTU/hr.ft2 of
    projected area. The tubes are of (15" outside diameter, 40 ' long, and 10" spacing) and arranged in two
    rows. Given: G=15 lb air/lg fuel, Cp oil =2.3 BTU/lb and the furnace efficiency is 75%. Calculate:
    1. The mass flow rate of fuel required.
    2. Number of tubes in radiation section, and
    3. % heat absorbed in the convection section (state any assumption used). 30M
