In order to get maximum calorific output a burner should have an optimum fuel to oxygen ratio which corresponds 3 times as much oxygen is required theoretically for complete combustion of the fuel A burner which has been adjusted for methane as fuel with X 1 hr of methane and 6X 1 hr of oxygen is to be adjusted for butane In order to get same calorific output what should be the supply of oxygen in 1 hr with 11 hr supply of butane Assume that losses due to incomplete combustion etc are the same for both fuels and that the gases behave ideally Enthalpies of combustion methane 800 kJ mol butane 3120 kJ mol
