Two-fuel ash production calculator

Ash mass from two fuels is calculated as M_coal × a_coal + M_wood × a_wood. Use the stated system boundary and matching input units.

Units
Mash=Mcoal×acoal+Mwood×awoodM_{\text{ash}} = M_{\text{coal}} \times a_{\text{coal}} + M_{\text{wood}} \times a_{\text{wood}}

Worked example

Given

  • McoalM_{\text{coal}} = 1,000 short ton
  • acoala_{\text{coal}} = 0.08 —
  • MwoodM_{\text{wood}} = 2,000 short ton
  • awooda_{\text{wood}} = 0.03 —
Mash=1000×0.08+2000×0.03=140M_{\text{ash}} = 1000 \times 0.08 + 2000 \times 0.03 = 140
