Module 2: Combustion and heat utilization
  Lecture 10: Material balance in combustion
 


Objectives: 

  • To calculate amount of air required for a given composition and amount of fuel 
  • To calculate amount of POC produced and its composition.
  • To calculate excess air when composition of POC is known.
  • To determine air leakage.
One of the important requirements of material balance is to know composition of products of combustion (also called flue gas; in the following flue gas and POC are used interchangeably).
