An incinerator is used for the destruction of hazardous wastes. The incinerator is supplied with 50% excess oxygen contained in an oxygen-enriched air stream (40% O2 and 60% N2). The fuel is liquid hexane. Both the oxygen-enriched air stream and the fuel enter the incinerator at 25 oC and 1 atm. Estimate the temperature of the flue gas stream. You must show full systematic working.

* Hint: try an iterative approach, with an initial assumption that the flue gas is 3000 K).

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%...

Benzaldehyde is produced from toluene in the catalytic reaction C6H5CH3 + O2 ? C6H5CHO + H2O Dry air and toluene vapor are mixed and fed to the reactor at 350.0°F and 1 atm. Air is supplied in 100.0% excess. Of the toluene fed to the reactor, 13.0% reacts to form benzaldehyde and 0.100% reacts with oxygen to form CO2 and H2O. The product gases leave the reactor at 379°F and 1 atm. Water is circulated through a jacket surrounding the...
