5. A test run using this coal showed a dry products of combustion analysis by volume of nitrogen equals
82.5%, molecular weight of 30 kg flue gas per mol dry flue gas, and the weight of this dry flue gas is
15.03 kg per kg of coal. The actual ash-pit sample was 0.15 kg per kg of coal, of which 20% was carbon.
What is the percentage excess air supplied to the fuel combustion in percent?
