Stoichiometric air is the theoretical minimum air required for complete combustion. The moisture correction accounts for water vapor in the combustion air.

Stoichiometric Air

\begin{equation}\label{eq:gas-flue-gas-material-stoich-air-cpp} Air_{stoich} = W_{O_2} \cdot \left(1 + \frac{1 - f_{O_2}}{f_{O_2}}\right)\end{equation}

Moisture Correction

\begin{equation}\label{eq:gas-flue-gas-material-moisture-corr-cpp} Moisture_{corr} = (M_{perc} - 0.009) \cdot Air_{stoich} \cdot 0.0763\end{equation}
