Calculation of theoretical air demand (V0)

For solid fuels:

When the fuel application base will score Vy >15% (bituminous coal), the calculation formula is:

\( V_0=0.251 \times Q_L/1000+0.278 \) m3(standard)/kg

When Vy <15% (lean or anthracite), the formula is:

\( V_0=Q_L/4140+0.606 \) m3(standard)/kg

When QL <12546kJ/kg (low quality coal), the formula is:

\( V_0=Q_L/4140+0.455 \) m3(standard)/kg

In the formula:

V0—the amount of theoretical air required for fuel combustion, m3(standard)/kg or m3/m3;

QL—the fuel application base low calorific value, kJ/kg or kJ/(standard) m3.
