For a combustion calculation on a coal, the analysis needed is

  • A.the proximate analysis giving volatiles and ash
  • B.the sieve analysis of the particle sizes
  • C.the calorific value of the fuel alone
  • D.the ultimate analysis giving the elements

Answer: D

Correct answer: the ultimate analysis giving the elements

Combustion calculations balance atoms, so they need the elemental composition: carbon and hydrogen determine the oxygen required and the products formed, sulphur adds its own demand, and the fuel-bound oxygen reduces what must be supplied. The proximate analysis cannot serve, since volatile matter and fixed carbon are not elements and their oxygen requirements are unknown.
