Sulphur Burner: in in Inx in Out Out Out X Out

This document summarizes the inputs, outputs, and energy transfers of several stages in a sulphur burner and sulphuric acid production process. Stage 1 involves burning sulphur to produce sulphur dioxide. Stage 2 further processes the gases in a converter. Heat exchangers 3-7 then lower the temperatures of gases while using this heat to raise the temperature of water. Energy balances are provided for each stage.
