Question: A coal from Utah which has an ultimate analysis (by mass) as 61.40 percent C, 5.79 percent H2, 25.31 percent O2, 1.09 percent N2, 1.41

A coal from Utah which has an ultimate analysis (by mass) as 61.40 percent C, 5.79 percent H2, 25.31 percent O2, 1.09 percent N2, 1.41 percent S, and 5.00 percent ash (non-combustibles) is burned with 25 percent excess air in an industrial boiler. Assuming complete combustion and that the pressure in the boiler smokestack is 1 atm, calculate the minimum temperature, in oC, of the combustion products before liquid water begins to form in the smokestack.
