A fuel gas containing 85.0 mole% methane and the balance ethane
is burned completely with 25.0 % excess air.
The stack gas leaves the furnace at 800.0 °C and is cooled to 350.0
°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.
"A".Taking as a basis of calculation 100.0 mol of the fuel gas fed to the furnace, calculate the amount (magnitude) of heat (MJ) that must be transferred from the gas in the waste heat boiler to accomplish the indicated cooling ?(...........MJ)
"B". How much saturated steam at 50.0 bar can be produced from boiler feedwater at 40.0 °C for the same basis of calculation?(...............) kg water
CAt what rate (kmol/s) must fuel gas be burned to produce 1080.0
kg/h of saturated steam (an amount required elsewhere in the plant)
in the waste-heat boiler?
What is the volumetric flow rate (m3/s) of the stack gas
leaving the boiler?
n⋅feed = | ( .............)x 10–3 kmol/s |
V⋅ Stack gas at 350.0 °C = | ( ..........)m3/s |
(Assume all the heat transferred from the gas goes into the steam production).
.... Please do not round any numbers....
