Problem1 Gas CH4 C2H6 C3H8 Total moles of C 90% of 1.

25 moles of C converts to CO2 and the rest to CO Oxygen required to form CO2 Oxygen required to form CO Total Oxygen for C alone Oxygen for hydrogen: every mole of hydrogen nees half mole of oxygen for H2O formation for 2.25 moles of hydrogen oxygen needed is 1.125 1.125 ( every mole of C needs one mole of oxygen to form CO2) 0.0625 ( every mole of C needs 0.5 mole of oxygen to form CO) 1.1875 moles Vol% 80 15 5 Moles of C Moles of H 0.8 3.2 0.3 0.9 0.15 0.4 1.25 Total moles of H= H2 in fuel is

4.5 2.25

0.125

Total moles of oxygen for H and C actually in the process For theoretical air requirement 100% conversion should be considered

2.3125

Therefore we have to assume hat no CO is formed, only CO2 is formed To convert 0.125 moles of CO to CO2 Oxygen needed is Hence for theoretical requirement oxygen amount is

0.0625 2.375

Hence theoretical oxygen requirement is: 2.375 moles The excess air supplied is 150% of theoretical need= therefore oxygen actually supplied is Oxygen unused ( because we are getting CO) Every mole of oxygen comes with 3.78 moles of N2 Thenitrogen sent in along with 3.5625moles of oxygen is

3.5625 1.25 (3.5625-2.3125)

Let the moles of excess air suppleid be V The stoichiometric air requirement /mole of fuel= The moles combustion products on dry basis CO2= 3.3 moles N2= 20.601 Total moles of exhaust= 23.901 moles

26.051

Hence the actually fed air into the system is 23.901+V It is given that the mole fraction of product stream contains 9% CO2 Total moles of exit gaes=23.901+V
