Question

Methane gas (CH4) enters a home heating furnace operating at steady state and burns completely with 110% of theoretical dry air, each stream entering at 77 F, 1 atm. Combustion products are discharged to the flue at 300 F, 1 atm. Return air from the house enters at 60 F, 1 atm, with a volumetric flow rate of 1000 ft3 /min and is supplied to heat the house at 120 F, 1 atm. Kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected as can stray heat loss from the outside of the furnace to its surroundings. Determine required the fuel flow rate, in lbmol/s
