    This document provides information and examples on calculating the weight and volume of air required for the complete combustion of various fuels. It begins with numerical examples calculating the oxygen required to combust coal and a gaseous fuel based on their chemical compositions. The weight and volume of air needed is then determined based on air being 21% oxygen. The final example calculates the weight of air required for 250g of coal that requires 20% excess air for combustion, given its chemical composition and the excess air requirement. The weight of air required is determined to be 3.211 kg.

    Numerical on combustion of fuel
    1. Every fuel comprises of their components.
    2. Write ignition responses for the components present in fuel.
    3. Calculate load of oxygen required for the combust of a similar component.
    4. Subtract oxygen officially present in fuel
    5. Carbon, Hydrogen, Sulfur and Hydrocarbons are the flammable substances
    present in fuel
    6. Nitrogen, Ash, Carbon Dioxide and water vapor are incombustible
    substances present in fuel, so don't have to compose the flammable
    responses for this issues
    7. We need to compose flammable responses for Carbon, Hydrogen, sulfur and
    different Hydrocarbons
    8. Calculate the weight and volume of air
    9. While figure the heaviness of air, weight of air factor is 100/23 and if there
    should arise an occurrence of volume of air duplication factor is 100/21

    Problem 1
    Calculate the weight and volume or air required for complete combustion of 4 kg.
    coal with the following compositions, C=85%, H=-10%, O=5%.

    Combustion Reactions Elements Weight of O₂ required for


    complete combustion in kg
    C (12) + O₂ (32) CO₂ (44) C = 0.85 C = 0.85 x 32/12 = 2.26 kg
    H₂ (2) + ½ O₂ (16) H₂O (18) H = 0.1 H = 0.1 x 16/2 = 0.8 kg
    O = 0.05 -
    TOTAL OXYGEN = 3.06 kg

    Weight of oxygen required


    Weight of Oxygen needed – weight of oxygen present
     Air required for complete combustion
    = 3.01 x 100/23 = 13.08 kg per 1 kg coal

     Air required for 4 kg. of coal


    = 13.08 x 4 = 52.32 kg.
    Volume of air

    28.94 kg. of air = 22.4 L volume of air Normal Temperature Pressure (NTP)
     52.32 kg of air = 22.4 x 52.32 / 28.94 = 40.496 litres of air

    Weight of air required = 52.32 kg.


    Volume of air required = 40.49 litres

    Problem 2
    A gaseous fuel has following composition by volume = CH4 = 25%, CO = 10%,
    H2 = 6%, C3H8=10%. Calculate the weight of air required for complete
    combustion.
    Combustion reactions Volume of O2 required
    CH₄ (1 Vol) + 2O₂ (2 Vol) CO₂ + 2 x 0.25 = 0.5 mᶾ
    2H₂O
    CO (1 Vol) + ½ O₂ (1/2 Vol) CO₂ ½ x 0.1 = 0.05 mᶾ
    2H₂ (2 Vol) + O₂ (1 Vol) 2H₂O ½ x 0.06 = 0.03 mᶾ
    C₃H₈ (1 Vol) + 5O₂ (5 Vol) 3CO₂ + 4H₂O 5 x 0.1 = 0.5 mᶾ
    TOTAL O₂ required = 1.08
    mᶾ

    Volume of air = Volume of O₂ x 100 / 21 = 1.08 x 100 / 21


    = 5.142 mᶾ of air
    = 5.142 litres of air

    Weight of air
    22.4 litres = 28.94 kg of air

     5.142 litres = (5.142 x 28.94 / 22.4) kg of air = 6.643 Kg of air


    Problem 3
    A sample of coal requires 20% excess air for complete combustion.
    Calculate weight of air for 250 gm of the coal, if its composition is C = 81%,
    H = 4%, N = 1.5%, S = 1.2%, O = 3%, ash = 9.3%.

    Reactions Weight of O₂ required


    C (12) + O₂ (32) CO₂ (44) C = 0.81 x 32/12 = 2.16
    Kg
    H₂ (2) + ½ O₂ (16) H₂O (16) H = 0.04 x 16/2 = 0.32 Kg
    S (32) + O₂ (32) SO₂ (64) H = 0,04 x 32/32 = 0.012
    Kg

    TOTAL O₂ Required = 2.492 Kg


    O₂ present in coal = 0.03 Kg
    Net O₂ required = 2.462 Kg

    Weight of air required = 2.462 x 100 / 23 = 10.7 Kg of air


    Now 20% excess air is required for complete combustion, the practically
    required
    weight of air.

    10.7 x 120 / 100 = 21.845 Kg of Air

    Now 1kg of coal requires 12.845 Kg of air


     250 gm of coal requires = 250/1000 x 12.845 = 3.211 kg of air
