Wet Basis & Dry Basis
Composition with water is wet basis and without water is dry basis

Dry Basis Composition


N2= 60 mol
CO2= 15 mol N2= = 0.706
O2= 10 mol
H2O= 100 – 60 – 15 – 10 = 15 mol CO2= = 0.176

O2= = 0.118

If stack gas is 1 mol, H2O will be 0.07 mol
So, in 1 mol stack gas,
H2O= 0.07 mol
Dry gas = 1- 0.07 = 0.93 mol

So, wetN2=
basis
65stack gas
IfIfstack
dry gas is10.93
gas is mol, mol, H2O
H2O will beis0.07
=0.07 mol composition:
CO2= 14
mol N2= 65/107.53
CO= 11 =
CO2=O2=
14/107.53=
10
If dry gas is 1 mol, H2O is =0.07/0.93 mol
So, in 1 mol stack gas, CO= 11/107.53=
H2O= 7.53
O2= 10/107.53=
H2O= 0.07ismol
If dry gas Total = 107.53 mol
100 mol, H2O is =100*(0.07/0.93) mol = 7.53 mol H2O= 7.53/107.53 =
Dry gas = 1- 0.07 = 0.93 mol
