High top pressure in the iron blast furnace

46.
In an ideal blast furnace, the input and output are as follows:
Input:
Ore, Pure Fe2O3, no gaunge : 1357kg/THM
Coke, Pure C, no ash : 400 kg/THM
Blast air, dry : O2 : 293 kg/HTM, N2 : 964 KG/THM
Flux : nil
Output :
Hot metal : 5wt% C, rest iron
Slag : nil
Top gas : CO, CO2, N2
∗ THM refers ton of hot metal (liquid pig iron) ; Atomic weights: C-12, O-16, Fe-56 The amount of oxygen in CO & CO2 leaving with the top gas is . . . . . . . . kg.
