Is there any relationship between the dust in the heating furnace and incomplete combustion in the furnace chamber? If combustion is incomplete, will it increase the amount of smoke and dust?

Personal understanding is for reference only. It is related, because if combustion is incomplete, or if the atomization is poor, or if too much fuel oil is used – preventing complete combustion of that fuel oil – carbon will be formed, which affects the furnace’s ability to heat the medium
The dust concentration is likely related to incomplete combustion of the fuel. If the fuel does not burn completely, the unburned fuel is discharged along with the smoke, increasing the dust concentration; this is what we commonly see as black smoke.
