### Composition on Wet and Dry Bases #### Problem Statement 1) **Wet Basis → Dry Basis:** A stack gas contains 60% N₂, 15% CO₂, 10% O₂, and the balance is H₂O. Calculate the dry basis composition of the gases. 2) **Dry Basis → Wet Basis:** Air (Orsat analysis) technique for stack gas analysis yields the following dry basis composition: - N₂: 65% - CO₂: 12% - O₂: 18% - CO: 5% A humidity measurement shows that the amount of H₂O in the stack gas is 0.0381 lbm/lbm dry air. Calculate the stack gas composition on a wet basis. #### Explanation and Methodology When dealing with gas compositions, it's often necessary to convert between wet and dry basis methods. - **Wet Basis**: The composition is based on the total gas volume, including water vapor. - **Dry Basis**: The composition is based only on the non-water components of the gas. These conversions are essential for various industrial processes to analyze and control emissions accurately.
