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% N2. (a) Calculate the percentage excess air supplied and the dew point of the product gas. (b) Taking a basis of 1 mole of methanol burned, calculate the heat (kJ) needed to vaporize and heat the methanol feed, and the heat (kJ) that must be transferred to or from the reactor.

Methane is burned with 25% excess air in a continuous adiabatic reactor. The methane enters the reactor at 25°C and 1.10 atm at a rate of 550 L/s, and the entering air is at 150°C and 1.1 atm. Combustion in the reactor is complete, and the reactor effluent gas emerges at 1.05 atm. (a) Calculate the temperature and the degrees of superheat of the reactor effluent. (Consider water to be the only condensable species in the effluent.) (b) Suppose only...

Propane gas is burned using air; both are at 25°C and 1 atm. 150% excess air (ie 250% of the theoretical air) is used. The products of the combustion are carbon dioxide(gas) and vapor water along with the excess oxygen. Predict the adiabatic flame temperature, in degrees K, in the steady-flow combustion chamber. Use the thermodynamic data from your textbook, Appendix E for all the required data.

The synthesis of methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen is carried out in a continuous vapor-phase reactor at 5.00 atm absolute. The feed contains CO and H2 in stoichiometric proportion and enters the reactor at 25.0°C and 5.00 atm at a rate of 31.1 m3/h. The product stream emerges from the reactor at 157°C. The rate of heat transfer from the reactor is 24.0 kW. Calculate the fractional conversion (0 to 1) of carbon monoxide achieved and the volumetric flow...

Methane gas is burned completely with 30% excess air in a furnace operating at one atmosphere. Both the methane and air enter the furnace at 40ºC saturated with water vapor. The flue gas (furnace exhaust) leaves the furnace at 1000ºC. The flue gas then passes through a heat exchanger and emerges at 60ºC. If 260 mole/sec of methane fed to the furnace, how much heat is lost from the furnace, and how much heat is transferred in the heat exchanger?...
