. One wishes to burn 100 moles of a fuel mixture with weight percentages of 80% CH4, 15% C2H6, and 5% C3H8. Find the following: a) The molar composition of this fuel b) The three balanced reactions for the complete combustion of these hydrocarbons c) The stoichiometric amount of O2 needed for the complete combustion of the fuel d) The actual amount of air needed if you wanted 20% excess Knowing the molecular weights are 16 g/mol for CH4, 30 g/mol for C2H6, and 44 g/mol for C3H8.

One hundred moles of moist air (100 moles) at 25oC and 100 kPa has a dew point of 16oC. If you want to remove 50% of the initial moisture in the air (at a constant pressure of 100 kPa). 1. Sketch the process. 2. Determine to what temperature should you cool the air? Assume that after removal of 50% of moisture from the air, the final air is saturated.

100 moles of a mixture containing 45.9 wt% methane and remainder propane are burned with 40% excess oxygen. There is 80% conversion of both methane and propane. Given MWs: CH4= 16, C3H8= 44, O2= 32, H2O = 18, CO2= 44 a) Balance the following reactions:____ CH4 + ____ O2 -->____ CO2+ ____ H2O ____ C3H8 + ____ O2--->____ CO2 + ____ H2O (I understand this and have it correct) b) How many moles of O2 must be supplied for 80%...

An air–fuel mixture enters a constant area combustion chamber at a velocity of 100 m/s a pressure of 70 kPa and a temperature of 150°C. Assuming that the fuel–air ratio is 0.04, the heating value of the fuel is 30 MJ/kg, and the mixture has the properties of air, calculate the Mach number in the gas flow after combustion is completed and the change of stagnation temperature and stagnation pressure across the combustion chamber. Neglect the effects of viscosity and...

100 moles/min of a mixture of 40 mol% n-pentane and 60 mol% n-heptane are fed through a valve into a flash tank. The flash tank operates at 600 mmHg. A T-xy diagram is provided on the next page. (a) Determine the bubble point and dew point of the feed mixture at 600 mmHg. (b) If the flash tank is operating at 60 0C determine; a. the compositions of the streams leaving the flash tank b. the flow rate in liters/min...

There are 100 balls of the same shape and same weight in one bag. The balls' colors are different: 15 red balls, 25 yellow balls, 40 blue balls and 20 white balls. You are blindfolded and asked to draw three balls from the bag without replacement. Calculate the probability that there is exactly one white ball among the three balls.

Besides a certain wealth of 100, Joe owns one house, the value of which is 80. The probability of full loss (due to fire) for this house is 0.10 for a given time period and Joe has no access to an insurance market. In the absence of fire, the value of a house remains at 80. Mary has the same initial wealth but owns two houses each valued at 40. The probability of full loss for each house is 0.10...
