Which gives as the caloric really developed 0·45 of the calorific power of the coke consumed.

These 3641 calories are divided between the two zones of the furnace as follows:

Caloric due to CO.

Caloric produced by 0.789 of carbon= (a−0·03) = 3011
Hence caloric produced by 11b.

Which gives for the caloric really produced in the furnace 0.47 of the calorific power of the coke consumed.

The 3011 calories are divided as follows between the two zones of the furnace:
