Determining the coefficients of air consumption from volumetric analysis of flue gases during the breakdown of material being calcined

Conclusions A formula is proposed for determining the quantity of carbon dioxide evolved from material being burnt (dolomite, magnesite, or limestone) per 1 kg or 1 Nm³ for fuel, and also a formula for determining the coefficient of air consumption during the combustion of any fuel in the presence or absence, within the combustion products, of gases from the material being broken down (CO₂).Translated from Ogneupory, No. 7, pp. 9–12, July, 1970.Here and subsequently instead of coefficient of excess air, the term coefficient of air consumption will be used.
