    The document describes the composition of a producer gas by volume, including 23% CO, 4.4% CO2, 2.6% O2 and 70% N2. It then provides calculations to determine: 1) The cubic feet of gas at 70°F and 750 mm Hg pressure per pound of carbon present, which is 119.2 cu ft. 2) The volume of air in cu ft required for the combustion of 100 cu ft of gas, with 20% excess oxygen, which is 53.179 cu ft. 3) The percentage composition by volume of the gases leaving the burner after complete combustion, which are 19.2% CO2, 1.62% O2,

    Calculate the volume of the air, at the condition of part a , required for
    the combustion of 100 cu ft of the gas at the same condition if it is
    desired that the total oxygen present before combustion shall be 20 %
    in exess of that theoretically required

    Answer :
    O2 exess

    Calculate the percentage composition by volume of the gases leaving


    the burner of part b , assuming complete combustion

    Answer :
    Komposisi gas saat lb-mol gas = 30,29 lb-mol
    CO

    23,0 x 30,29

    = 496,67
