A fuel gas containing 75.0 mole% methane and the balance ethane is burned completely with 35.0% excess air. The stack gas leaves the furnace at 800.0°C and is cooled to 350.0°C in a waste-heat boiler, a heat exchanger in which heat lost by cooling gases is used to produce steam from liquid water for heating, power generation, or process applications. Take as a basis 100.0 mol of the fuel gas fed to the furnace. The amounts of each of the...

1. 20 kg/s of propane is burned with 50% excess air. Both streams are at 100oC when entering the combustion chamber. 80% of the propane is burned and 90% of the burned propane goes to CO2 and the remainder to CO. If the gases exit the combustion chamber at 1300oC what is the rate of heat production? (Note: All the species are gases. Use mean heat capacities or the first term of the cp expression for this problem)
