(Combustion Analysis)

100 m3 of a fuel oil are burned per hour with 20 percent excess air in a steam generator. The fuel oil has a density of 926 kg/m3 and the following mass composition: 87% C, 12% H2, 1% S. Air enters the boiler at 100 kPa and 15 °C. Determine the following:

(a). The volumetric flow rate of the air (m3 /min) fed to the boiler;

(b). The flue gas molar composition on a dry basis, reporting all constituents to the nearest 0.001% and assuming complete combustion of the fuel oil; and

(c). The dew point temperature (°C) of the combustion flue gas, if the pressure exiting the boiler stack is 200 kPa.

(d). The mass flow rate of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emitted from the boiler, in metric tons per day, assuming complete combustion of the fuel oil.
