Thermal conductivity measurement is used for the determination of________________?

Correct answer: D. CO2 percentage in the flue gas

  • A. O2 percentage in the flue gas
  • B. Specific gravity of petrofuels
  • C. Composition of an alloy
  • D. CO2 percentage in the flue gas

Explanation

Carbon dioxide has a thermal conductivity sufficiently different from the major gases in flue gas for a thermal-conductivity analyser to estimate its percentage. Oxygen is more commonly measured by a paramagnetic or zirconia analyser.
