Default Question about rust

The propane burner requires about 10 cuft air for each 1000 btu
generated. Each 10 cuft of air burned generates about 1.6 cuft of
water vapor. That's a LOT of water.


How much water is in the water vapor? I'm not doubing the statistics, but
you are saying that 10 cu. ft of air reduces to 16% of vapor by volume.
What else is included here in the 1.6 cubic feet? That means that the
original atmosphere contain 16 percent vapor, but that must be reduced to a
given amount of liquid. How do we calculate the liquid content?
