The document provides information about the composition of coal fired in a furnace, the composition of the refuse, and the composition of the stack gas. It asks to complete the ultimate analysis of the coal by selecting from the four options provided. Given this information, the summary calculates material balances on carbon and ash around the furnace. This allows determining the amount of coal used. The excess oxygen is calculated and used to modify the coal analysis. The net hydrogen is calculated and used to complete the ultimate analysis. Option d is selected as the correct ultimate analysis.

51. Coal fired in a furnace analyzes 57.1%C, 8%ash, 1.4%N, and 0.77%S.

The refuse contains


24.5%C and 75.5%ash. Orsat analysis of the stack gas shows 11.21%CO2, 1.57%CO, 7.45%O2,
and 79.77%N2. Complete the ultimate analysis of the coal.
a. 4.2%O & 28.53%H c. 4.76%O & 27.97%H
b. 5.95%O & 26.78%H d. 26.85%O & 5.88&H

Given:
Stack Gas:
Air 11.21%CO2
1.57%CO
7.45%O2
79.77%N2
Furnace

Coal:
57.1%C
8%ash Refuse:
1.4%N 24.5%C
0.77%S 75.5%ash

Since there is no VCM in the refuse, the coal type is Coked Coal;
BASIS: 100kmol DSG

Overall Ash Balance (in kg):


0.08F = 0.755R
Carbon Balance (in kg):
153.36 + 0.245R = 0.571F
F = 281.3740kg
R = 29.8144kg

Excess O2 = 6.06kmol
Theo O2 =21.2 – 6.06 = 15.14kmol Considering the Modified Analysis of the Coked
Coal:
netH = 7.01kg CW = 100 - 2.49 - 0.77 - 1.4 - 8 - 57.1 = 30.24%
7.01kg = 281.3740kg(%netH)
%netH = 2.49% O = (8/9)(30.24) = 26.85%
H = (1/9)(30.24) = 5.88%
Using Dulong’s Formula:
CV = 0.338C + 1.44netH + 0.094S
CV = 0.338(57.1) + 1.44n(2.49) + 0.094(0.77)
CV = 22.96MJ/kg
