A fuel gas containing 75.0 mole% methane and the balance ethane is burned completely with 15.0 % excess air. The stack gas leaves the furnace at 800.0 °C and is cooled to 450.0 °C in a waste-heat boiler, a heat exchanger in which heat lost by cooling gases is used to produce steam from liquid water for heating, power generation, or process applications. Taking as a basis of calculation 100.0 mol of the fuel gas fed to the furnace, calculate...

A tank contains methane at 1000psia and 140F. Another tank of equal volume contains ethane at 500psia and 140F. The two tanks are connected, the gases are allowed to mix and the temperature is restored to 140F. Calculate the final pressure, the composition of the mixture, and the partial pressures of the components at final conditions. Do not assume that ideal gas equations apply. Z-factor for methane is 0.95, and ethane is 0.77

A fuel gas containing methane and ethane is burned with air in a furnace, producing a stack gas at 300.°C and 105 kPa (absolute). You analyze the stack gas and find that it contains no unburned hydrocarbons, oxygen, or carbon monoxide. You also determine the dew-point temperature. (a) Estimate the range of possible dew-point temperatures by determining the dew points when the feed is either pure methane or pure ethane. (b) Estimate the fraction of the feed that is methane...
