Abstract

An improvement in the efficiency on converting fuel energy to useful thermal energy could result in significant fuel saving for industrial Sector. In this paper artificial intelligence concept using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used to predict the optimized excess air requirement using real time and calculated data. This work determines the excess air requirement for complete combustion corresponding to theoretical CO2 in flue gases and real-time values obtained from remote measurements of CO2

Keywords
