Concept:

Fuel gas analysis refers to the determination of the composition of exhaust gases. It can be done theoretically and experimentally.

Various devices available for measuring the composition of products of combustion (flue gas) are Orsat Analyzer, Gas chromatograph, Infrared analyzer, and Flame ionization detector, etc.

  • Orsat Apparatus: It is used for carrying out volumetric analysis of dry products of combustion.
  • Bomb Calorimeter: It is used to determine the higher calorific value of solid and liquid fuels.
  • Barometer: A barometer is used to measure local atmospheric pressure.
  • Rope dynamometer: A rope brake dynamometer is used to test the power of engines.
