A liquid petroleum fuel with carbon, hydrogen and other inert elements contains 84% carbon by mass. A volumetric analysis of the dry products of combustion shows 12.79% carbon dioxide, 0.31% carbon monoxide, oxygen 2.54% and the remainder nitrogen (the inert elements in the fuel transform into a solid in the reactor so they do not appear in the fuel gas). a) Determine the quantity of fuel burned per 100 mol of dry products, in grams. b) Determine the quantity of air supplied per 100 mol of dry products, in grams. c) Determine the actual air to fuel ratio (mass basis) d) Determine the theoretical air to fuel ratio e) Determine the excess air in the reaction

A coal has the following elemental (ultimate) analysis by weight: 78.4% carbon, 5.2% oxygen, 4.8% hydrogen, 1.4% nitrogen, 0.8% sulfur, and 9.4% ash. It is combusted with 25% excess air and the combustion is complete (thus CO2, H2O, and SO2 are formed due to combustion). The nitrogen from the air and the fuel does not undergo a reaction and leaves as N2 gas. Calculate the amount of air (in grams) required to combust 100 grams of coal. Calculate also the...

Problem 2. A novel gaseous hydrocarbon fuel CxHy is proposed for use in spark-ignition engines. A sample analysis of this fuel revealed that its molecular weight is 140 kg/kmol and its molar H/C ratio is 2. In order to evaluate some of its properties, the fuel was burned with stoichiometric atmospheric air in a constant pressure, steady-flow reactor. The fuel and air entered the reactor at 25 C, and the products of complete combustion were cooled to 25 C. At...

Biodiesel fuel—a sustainable alternative to petroleum diesel as a transportation fuel—is produced via the transesterification of triglyceride molecules derived from vegetable oils or animal fats. For every 9 kg of biodiesel produced in this process, 1 kg of glycerol, C2H8O3, is produced as a byproduct. Finding a market for the glycerol is important for biodiesel manufacturing to be economically viable. A process for converting glycerol to the industrially important specialty chemical intermediates acrolein, C2H4O, and hydroxyacetone (acetol), C3H6O2, has been...
