A fuel oil is burned with 50% excess air. What is the volume rate of flow in mº/min of the wet products at a pressure of 102 kPa and a temperature of 350°C when the fuel is burned at the rate of 45 kg/min? Assume that the combustion requirements of the fuel oil are similar to those of C12H26.

3. The following is an analysis of coal in percent:
0₂ = 8%
S = 1%
C = 74%
H₂ = 6%
N₂ = 1.6%
Ash = 9.4%
If burned in a boiler, the coal produces the following Orsat analysis in percent:
CO₂ = 12%
CO = 0.1%
0₂ = 6.5%
4. A fuel oil is burned with 50% excess air. What is the volume rate of flow in m³/min of the wet products
at a pressure of 102 kPa and a temperature of 350°C when the fuel is burned at the rate of 45 kg/min?
Assume that the combustion requirements of the fuel oil are similar to those of C12H26.
