Compositional analysis of flue gas coming out of a furnace in respect of O2 and CO2% can be continuously done by a/an___________________?

Correct answer: B. Thermal conductivity cell

  • A. Orsat apparatus
  • B. Thermal conductivity cell
  • C. Zirconia probe
  • D. Chromatograph

Explanation

A thermal-conductivity cell can be used in continuous gas analysis because the mixture's thermal conductivity changes with composition. Orsat analysis is mainly intermittent, while a zirconia probe primarily measures oxygen rather than both oxygen and carbon dioxide.
