Example 7: A furnace bums coal a"1alyzing 78.35%C, 27%

VCM. l .3%N, 7.1 o/o ash and 0;.95%S. Analysis of
the refuse shows 6%VCM, 32% FC and 62% ash.
Air supplied is at 30°C, 735 torrs with 90% RH .
TI1e stack gases at 250°C and 745 torrs has a
p~.:. r tial orsat analysis of9 .79% CO2 and 1.47% co. I

Assuming that 5.19% of the C fired is Jost. in the

refuse, calci1late:

Wt of the refuse = (7. 1 /0. 62) = l l.45

\Vt of C in the refuse = .0519(78.35) = 4.066
\Vt of C in VCM i.n ref= 4.066 - (.32)(11.45) = Cl.402

o/oC in VCM = (.402)/(.06 x l 1A5) x lOO = 58.51

%FC in coal = 78.35 - (.5851 x 27) = 62 .55
