Natural Gas (1 mol/s) composed of 85 mol% methane, 8 mole% ethane and 7 mol% CO2 is

used to generate heat in a boiler. The fuel is fed to the boiler with 25% excess air that has a relative

humidity of 35%. Both natural gas and humid air are fed at 250C. Heat from the combustion is

transferred to liquid water that enters the heat exchanger as a liquid at 250C and leaves as a vapor at 1

bar and 3000C. If the combustion product gas exits the boiler at 5000C and the ratio of CO to CO2 in the

combustion products is 0.10, what is the flow rate of the cooling water if it can be assumed that all the

heat from the combustion process goes to heat the liquid water.

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?...

3. Fossil fuels (petroleum, natural gas, and coal) are excellent fuels composed primarily of hydrocarbons, which when burned in an adequate supply of air are oxidized, forming carbon dioxide and water. Chemical bonds are broken and new bonds are formed, and as a result, energy is released as heat. Calculate the following in the spaces provided using the table below. Show all work.
