Abstract

A composition analysis apparatus for analyzing a composition of a gas includes: a first measurement part measuring concentrations of gases included in a gas to be analyzed; a part calculating converted calorific values, the part including a second measurement part measuring a refractive index of the gas and a speed of a sound propagating through the gas and calculating a converted calorific value of the gas for the refractive index and the sound speed; a part calculating a base miscellaneous gas total error calorific value, the part calculating, based on the converted calorific values, a base error calorific value of an error calorific value attributable to miscellaneous gases included in the gas; and a part calculating a concentration of a first gas not to be measured, the part calculating the concentration of the first gas based on the concentrations of the measured gases and the base error calorific value.
