Calculate Combustion Efficiency



Formula

The formula to calculate the Combustion Efficiency (Ecombustion) is:

\[ Ecombustion = \frac{CO2}{CO2 + CO} \times 100 \]

Where:

Definitions

Example

Let's say the concentration of CO2 is 1500 ppmv and the concentration of CO is 50 ppmv. Using the formula:

\[ Ecombustion = \frac{1500}{1500 + 50} \times 100 \]

We get:

\[ Ecombustion = \frac{1500}{1550} \times 100 \approx 96.77\% \]

So, the combustion efficiency is approximately 96.77%.

Boiler Combustion Efficiency Formula

Definition: Combustion efficiency measures how effectively the heat content of a fuel is transferred into usable heat.

Formula: \( \eta = \frac{Q_{in} - Q_{loss}}{Q_{in}} \times 100 \)

Example: \( \eta = \frac{1000 - 100}{1000} \times 100 \)

How to Calculate Energy of Combustion

Definition: The energy of combustion is the total energy released as heat when a substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen.

Formula: \( \Delta H_c = \sum \Delta H_{products} - \sum \Delta H_{reactants} \)

Example: \( \Delta H_c = (2 \times -393.5) - (1 \times -241.8 + 1 \times 0) \)

Rate of Combustion of Fuel Formula

Definition: The rate of combustion is the speed at which a fuel burns, releasing energy.

Formula: \( R = \frac{m}{t} \)

Example: \( R = \frac{50}{2} \)
