If oxygen content in the flue gas rises too high, fuel is being wasted by _______________?

Correct answer: B. Dry gas/stack gas loss

  • A. Incomplete combustion
  • B. Dry gas/stack gas loss
  • C. Moisture loss
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Excess oxygen in flue gas indicates excess air, which increases the mass of dry gas leaving the stack and hence the dry-gas or stack-gas heat loss. It does not primarily indicate incomplete combustion.
