A gas contains 80.0 wt% propane, 15.0 wt% -butane, and the balance water.

a. Write out the balanced stoichiometric equations for complete and incomplete combustion.

b. If 100 kg/h of this fuel is to be burned with 30% excess air, what is the required air feed rate (kmol/h)? Calculate the molar composition of the feed gas on both a wet and a dry basis and the ratio (mol H2O/mol dry gas).

c. If 100 kg/h of this fuel is to be burned with 30% excess air and all the fuel is consumed with 75% complete combustion for both fuels, calculate the molar composition of the outlet gas on both a wet and a dry basis and the ratio (mol H2O/mol dry gas).

A stream of pure propane (C3H8) and a stream of pure butane (C4H10) are both fed to a continuous combustion chamber, where they are burned with pure oxygen. Gas analysis indicates that the product gas from the combustion chamber contains 47.4 mole% H2O. The combustion gases are then fed to a condenser, where all of the water vapour is removed (as condensate) to give a gas stream containing 69.4 mole% CO2 and the balance is O2. basis of 100 mol/min...

ChE question A fuel oil is analyzed and found to contain 87 wt% carbon, 11 wt% hydrogen, 1.6 wt% sulfur and the remainder incombustible matter. The oil is burned with 20% excess air based on complete combustion of carbon to CO2, hydrogen to H2O and sulfur to SO2. The oil is burned completely but 5% of the carbon forms CO. Calculate the molar composition of the stack gas.
