Carbon monoxide is burned with excess air at 1 atm in an adiabatic reactor. The reactants are fed at 25C and the final temperature (i.e., the adiabatic flame temperature) is 1500C.

(a) Calculate the percentage excess air fed to the reactor. USE THE HEAT OF REACTION METHOD (THIS ANSWER SHOULD BE 99.1% excess O2)

(b) If the percentage excess air were increased, how would the adiabatic flame temperature change and why would it change in this manner?

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.

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%...

Hydrogen is burned with oxygen as follows: ? 2 ( ? ) + 12 ? 2 ( ? ) → ? 2 ? ( ? ) Hydrogen and oxygen are fed in stoichiometric proportions to a continuous adiabatic reactor at 25oC and 1 atm. The reaction proceeds to completion. Assuming 1 mol/s of hydrogen as a basis, calculate the reactor exit stream temperature (oC) using heat of formation method.

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.
