why should we have to maintain excess air in furnaces and boilers while burning any fuel?..

Answer / atul $onawane

The reduction in excess air means higher furnace temperature
which ultimately results in clinker formation,incomplete
combuton of fuel and results in higher operating cost.

why should we have to maintain excess air in furnaces and boilers while burning any fuel?..

Answer / anwar ashwak hussain

if we supply theoretical air it is not sufficient to
perform complete combustion. incomplete combustion leads to
co, so, NO formation which are hazardous to environment and
we also loose co which can be used as fuel. if we supply
higher or lower amount of excess air leads to decrease in
furnace efficiency. so we should optimize the excess air
where furnace efficiency is high.

why should we have to maintain excess air in furnaces and boilers while burning any fuel?..

Answer / sarav

Simply we can say to ensure the complete combustion of fuel.
Which will also reduce the toxic gas emission (CO) and also
results in effective fuel utilization which reduces the
operation cost.

Answer / vinayak m. desai

excess air give complete combustion of the fuelmeans we get
higher temp and economy operation

why should we have to maintain excess air in furnaces and boilers while burning any fuel?..

Answer / suraj chaudhari

To avoid smoke formation by burning fuel
completely, so rediction of particulate matter. Also
for obtaining high calorific value of fuel.

Question 72 - (a) According to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) (http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list, accessed 12 August 2016), 100 g of potatoes generate 77 kcal of energy. For raw tomatoes, 111 g have 18 kcal of energy. Question : How much energy will one gain if 150 g of heated potatoes are eaten with 200 g of raw tomatoes? (b) If 1 Calorie = 1 food Calorie = 1 kilocalorie and 1000 calories = 1 food Calorie, then how many Calories are there in 9600 calories? (c) According to a food package of potato chips, 210 Calories are produced per serving size of 34 g. In actual experiment of food calorimetry lab, 1.75 g of potato chips, when burnt, will produce 9.6 Calories. For each serving size of potato chip, find the difference of Calories between the actual experimental value and the value stated on the food package. (d) The specific heat of water is c = 1 cal / (g.K) where cal is calory, g is gram and K is Kelvin. Then what is the temperature rise of water, in degree Celsius, when 150 g of water is heated by 9600 calories of burning food?
