9.77 Methane is burned with 25% excess air in a continuous adiabatic reactor. The methane enters the reactor at 25 C and 1.10 atm at a rate of 550 L/s, and the entering air is at 150 C and 1.1 atm. Combustion in the reactor is complete, and the reactor effluent gas emerges at 1.05 atm. a) Calculate the temperature and the degrees of superheat of the reactor effluent. (Consider water to be the only condensable species in the effluent)....

A propane burning engine is being evaluated and the exhaust gas collected on a dry basis is 10.1% CO2, 1.1% CO, 4.7% O2 and 84.1% N2. During the test, 0.50 kg of fuel is burned and 1.73 m3 of exhaust gas (again dry) was collected at 15°C and 108 kPa. However, after the test someone questions whether it was really propane that was burned. Using the data above, specify what hydrocarbon was burned.

Methane at 25°C is burned in a boiler furnace with 10.0% excess air. The air enters the burner at a temperature of 100°C. Ninety percent of the methane fed is consumed; the product gas is analyzed and found to contain 10.0 mol CO2 per 1 mol of CO. The exhaust gases exit the furnace at 400°C. Calculate the rate of heat transferred from the furnace, given that a molar flow rate of 100 mol/s CH4 is fed to the furnace.

Methane is burning with minimum amount of air to form the stable products. The premixed methane-air mixture is filled in a leak-proof spherical vessel at an initial pressure of 1 bar and 298 K. The vessel is well insulated to avoid thermal energy interaction with the surroundings.The combustible mixture is ignited at the centre of the vessel using an electrical spark. The energy added to the mixture for ignition is negligible. During the combustion process, the pressure of the combustion...
