carbon monoxide is to be burned with air at atmospheric pressure to produce a gad containing an equal number of moles of CO and CO2 . The products of combustion leave the furnace at 4400F. If the only significant reaction is the oxidation of CO and CO2, what is the composition of the gas leaving the combustion chamber? You may assume equilibrium at the combustion chamber exit and the equilibrium at this condition is 6 atm^-1/2.

Answer #1

Ans.

     COCO2

     x/2                x/2

mole of CO =mole of CO2=x/2

mole fraction of CO = (x/2)/(x/2+x/2)

                            =0.5

mole fracton of CO2 =1-x/2

                              =0.5.

Methanol vapor is burned with excess air in a catalytic combustion chamber. Liquid methanol initially at 25 ◦C is vaporized at 1.1 atm and heated to 100 ◦C; the vapor is mixed with air that has been preheated to 1100 ◦C, and the combined stream is fed to the reactor at 100 ◦C and 1 atm. The reactor effluent emerges at 300 ◦Cand 1atm. Analysis of the product gas yields a dry-basis composition of 4.8% CO2, 14.3% O2, and 80.9%...
