TABLE 7

AIR SUPPLY, OXYGEN REQUIRED AND PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION OF THE
USUAL COMBUSTIBLES

This table is based upon the assumption that air = l volume of oxygen, 02-f-4 volumes
of nitrogen, N2. This assumption is sufficiently accurate for most purposes and greatly
simplifies the work of computation. If greater accuracy is desired, use 3.8 volumes for N2
and 4.8 volumes for air.

The volumes may be considered as cubic feet, cubic meters, ounce molecules or gram
molecules as desired for the purpose in hand.

Adapted from Les Sources de L'Energie Calorifique, by Damour, Carnot and Rengade.
NOTE.—AS CBU and other hydrocarbons (CnKxn) break up at low temperatures around
1450° F., their heat capacity is valueless and such gases cannot be preheated successfully.
Some data as to the dissociation of CH4 and C«HW were given on page 1014 of The Iron Age,
April 24, 1913.
