A fuel gas containing an equimolar (equal molar amounts) mixture of propane and carbon disulfide is burned completely with 32% excess air.

Assume a 100 mol propane/s basis of calculation. If the fuel enters the process at 187 ^oC and 120 atm calculate the volumetric flow rate (L/s) of the entering gas. Do not assume the gas is ideal.

a) Write the balanced chemical reaction(s) for the fuel.

b) Determine the rate (mol/s) air is fed to the furnace.

c) Calculate the total flowrate (mol/s) of the mixture leaving the reactor.

d) Calculate the mole fraction of oxygen in the product gas.

e) Calculate the mole fraction of carbon dioxide in the product gas.
