Problem 2

The document contains 4 problems involving calculating combustion properties like excess air, theoretical air requirements, and flue gas composition from given fuel compositions and flue gas analysis results. Problem 1 involves orsat analysis of a boiler flue showing CO2, O2, and N2 percentages and calculating excess air and fuel C:H ratio. Problem 2 involves coal composition and calculating theoretical oxygen and air requirements and flue gas composition with excess air. Problem 3 does the same calculations for residual fuel oil burned with excess air. Problem 4 calculates excess air and fuel C:H ratio from given flue gas analysis, assuming the fuel oil contains no nitrogen.
