With increase in C/H ratio of a fuel, the dew point of flue gases______________________?

Correct answer: B. Decreases

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

Explanation

A higher C/H ratio means less hydrogen is burned per unit of fuel, so less water vapour is produced. Lower water-vapour partial pressure lowers the flue-gas dew point.
