A coal has the following ultimate analysis (or percent by weight): C = 0.8339; H 2 = 0.0456; O 2 = 0.0505; N 2 = 0.0103; S = 0.0064; ash = 0.0533; total = 1.000 lb (0.45 kg). This coal is burned in a steam-boiler furnace. Determine the weight of air required for theoretically perfect combustion, the weight of gas formed per...
