As the C/H ratio of the fuel increases, the amount of CO2 formed on combustion _______________ for the same percentage of excess air?

Correct answer: B. Increases

  • A. Decreases
  • B. Increases
  • C. Remain same
  • D. May increase or decrease depending on the type of fuel

Explanation

Increasing the C/H ratio increases the carbon available per unit mass of fuel, so more carbon is converted to CO2 under comparable combustion conditions. The same excess-air percentage does not reverse this trend.
