Percent Excess Oxygen Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Percent Excess Oxygen = ((0.21*(Moles of Air Fed-Moles of Oxygen Theoretical))/Moles of Oxygen Theoretical)*100
% Excess O2 = ((0.21*(MFed-MOxyTheo))/MOxyTheo)*100
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Percent Excess Oxygen - Percent Excess Oxygen is the amount of oxygen in the incoming air not used during combustion and is related to percentage excess air.
Moles of Air Fed - (Measured in Mole) - Moles of Air Fed is defined as total moles of air that is being fed to the process for combustion.
Moles of Oxygen Theoretical - (Measured in Mole) - Moles of Oxygen Theoretical is the exact amount of Oxygen required for complete combustion.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Moles of Air Fed: 10 Mole --> 10 Mole No Conversion Required
Moles of Oxygen Theoretical: 5 Mole --> 5 Mole No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
% Excess O2 = ((0.21*(MFed-MOxyTheo))/MOxyTheo)*100 --> ((0.21*(10-5))/5)*100
Evaluating ... ...
% Excess O2 = 21
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
21 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
21 <-- Percent Excess Oxygen
(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

Net Calorific Value Based on Weight Percent of Hydrogen
Go Net Calorific Value = Gross Calorific Value-((Percentage Weight of Hydrogen*9*Latent Heat of Vaporization of Water)/100)
Net Calorific Value given Weight Fraction
Go Net Calorific Value = Gross Calorific Value-(Weight Fraction of Hydrogen*9*Latent Heat of Vaporization of Water)
Percent Excess Oxygen
Go Percent Excess Oxygen = ((0.21*(Moles of Air Fed-Moles of Oxygen Theoretical))/Moles of Oxygen Theoretical)*100
Net Calorific Value
Go Net Calorific Value = Gross Calorific Value- (Weight of Water Vapour*Latent Heat of Vaporization of Water)
Percent Excess Air
Go Percent Excess Air = ((Moles of Air Fed-Moles of Air Theoretical)/Moles of Air Theoretical)*100
Theoretical Air Requirement
Go Theoretical Air Requirement = Theoretical Oxygen Demand/0.21
