Calculate minimum volume of air required(both on KG basis and mole basis) to burn 1 KG of coal hav C-82 % H- 4% N-1% O- 5% S-1% M-2% A-5%
Solution: Combustion equationsC+O2=CO2 12 KG of C combines with 32 Kg of O2 to give 44 KG of CO2 1 mole of C combines with 1 mole of O2 to give 1 mole of CO2 2H2+O2=2H2O 4 KG of H2 combines with 32 Kg of O2 to give 36 KG of H2O 2 mole of H2 combines with 1 mole of O2 to give 2 mole of H2O S+O2=SO2 32 KG of S combines with 32 Kg of O2 to give 64 KG of SO2 1 mole of S combines with 1 mole of O2 to give 1 mole of SO2 Note: other molecules apart from these three does not take part in combustion.

Q.
Calculate fuel composition by weight and % excess air from dry flue gas analysis as shown below(by volume Kmole) CO2-10.7% O2-5.1% N2-84.2% Assume that fuel contains only C,H and does not have N,O,S
Solution:
Part I
Calculation of Fuel composition What to find out Air supplied Oxygen present in total air supplied Excess oxygen present Thus Oxygen used for combustion is Oxygen required for combustion of C Oxygen required for combustion of H2 Amount of H2 present in fuel
Approach 1/(amount of N2 present in a mole of air)* N2 present in total kmole of air supplied-amount of N2 present (from flue gas composition) total Kmole of O2 present in supplied air- O2 present flue (1 mole of O2 is required for combustion of 1 mole of C) Total oxygen used for combustion-oxygen used foe comb 1 Mole of O2 is required fro combustion of 2 mole of H2 The above analysis gives-
Part II
Calculation of excess air What to find out % of excess air
