    Vijay Bhan
    This document provides information about oxygen measurements and calculations to determine false air in a plant. It includes definitions of direct and compound kiln operation. It lists assumptions about gas moisture contents. Tables provide oxygen measurement data for different locations in the plant. Formulas are given to calculate false air volume using oxygen measurements on a dry or wet basis, taking into account gas volumes, oxygen levels, and moisture contents at inlet and outlet locations.

    The passage discusses different methods for calculating false air intake in kilns using oxygen measurements and accounting for moisture.

    Two methods are described for calculating false air - one using oxygen measurements on a dry basis and one using measurements on a wet basis.

    The parameters used in the calculations include inlet and outlet gas volumes and moistures, inlet and outlet oxygen levels, and the assumed oxygen content of false air.
