Density of flue gases

Densit of flue gases

The density of the flue gases is affected by pressure and temperature. In case of small differences in pressure, the density at different gas temperatures can be calculated (kg/m3):

where is the gas-mix density at 0 C, 100kPa is the gas mix temperature

Densit of molecules in the flue gas mi The total density of a flue gas mix can be calculated from the sum of (partial pressure of component * component density) Densities of part components (kg/Nm3) Component CO2 H2O O2 SO2 CO H2 N2/Ar Density at 0 C, 100kPa 1,977 0,804 1,430 2,927 1,250 0,090 1,250

Densit of some common flue gas compositions In this table you will find the densities of flue gases from combustion of some common fuels. Column 2 represents combustion with air as oxidant. Column 3 combustion with pure oxygen as oxidant. Fuel / Gas Luft LPG 95/5 LPG 50/50 Air 1,2754 1,267 1,269 Oxygen 1,312 1,320
