This document provides an example calculation for a hypothetical municipal incinerator. It begins by outlining key assumptions about the incinerator's design and operation, such as its charging rate, grate area, furnace volume, and air supply. It then lists the composition and heating value assumed for the refuse being burned. The remainder of the document presents sample calculations to determine quantities of air, gas, water, heat release and flue gas cleaning based on these initial assumptions and combustion fundamentals. The goal is to establish relationships between key parameters to aid in incinerator design and performance evaluation.
