For a flow of 100mol / h of propane gas, what is the theoretical air that should be supplied in mol / h?
Homework Answers
Solution: The combustion reaction of propane is given as follows:
C3H8 + 5O2 -----> 3CO2 + 4H2O
From the equation, it can be seen that 1 mole of propane requires 5 moles of oxygen for complete combustion.
So, 100 mol/h of propane will need 500 mol/h of oxygen for complete combustion.
But, air has only 21% oxygen.
So, theoretical air that should be supplied in mol/h for 100 mol/h of propane = 500/0.21 = 2380.95 mol/h of air.

2. Natural gas containing a mixture of methane, ethane, propane, and butane is burned in a furnace with excess air. One hundred kmol/h of a gas containing 94.4 mole% methane, 3.40% ethane, 0.60% propane, and 0.50% butane is to be burned with 17% excess air. a) Calculate the molar flow rate of the air. b) Now instead of using numerical values, we will work the problem by deriving an equation. Define the following variables: i.molar flow of the fuel gas:...

Problem 13.015 Propane (C3H8) burns completely with 150% of theoretical air entering at 74°F, 1 atm, 50% relative humidity. The dry air component can be modeled as 21% O2 and 79% N2 on a molar basis. The combustion products leave at 1 atm. For complete combustion of propane(C3H8) with the theoretical amount of air, what is the number of moles of oxygen (O2) per mole of fuel?

1 kmol of gas Ethane is burned with 175 percent theoretical air in a steady flow combustion chamber. An analysis of the combustion gases reveals that all the hydrogen in the fuel burns to H2O but 95 percent of the Carbon burns to CO2 with the remaining 5 percent forming CO. Treating the air as dry air, determine; (a)The balanced combustion equation. (b)The air-fuel ratio. (c)The amount of heat transfer (in kJ/kg of fuel) from the combustion process if the...
