The document appears to be calculating the efficiency of an oil-fired heater by accounting for factors like excess air, moisture content, and heat transfer from various components. Equations are provided to calculate outputs like net heat, thermal efficiency, and more based on inputs like fuel composition and operating temperatures.

The inputs being tracked include fuel composition and properties, operating temperatures, excess air, and humidity. The outputs calculated include heat transfer from various combustion products, stack losses, and thermal efficiencies.

Equations are provided to calculate the lower heating value based on fuel composition, correct for factors like excess air and moisture, and calculate net heat, thermal efficiency, and gross thermal efficiency based on heat inputs and outputs.
