1. A fuel contains by mass 88% C, 8% H2, 1% S and 3% ash (silica). a. Calculate the stoichiometric/ theoretical air needed in combustion. b. If the air supplied is 20% more than the stoichiometric value, find the analysis of the dry products by mass (% product/total mass of DRY products). Remember that the flue gas will contain nitrogen gas and excess oxygen gas as well.

ADDITIONAL SAMPLE PROBLEMS (FUELS) 1. A fuel contains by mass 88% C, 8% H2, 1% S and 3% ash (silica). a. Calculate the stoichiometric/ theoretical air needed in combustion. b. If the air supplied is 20% more than the stoichiometric value, find the analysis of the dry products by mass (% product/total mass of DRY products). Remember that the flue gas will contain nitrogen gas and excess oxygen gas as well. 2. Calculate the % of each dry product when coal is burned stoichiometrically in air (when coal is burned in the theoretical amount of air). The analysis of the coal is: 80% C, 10% H2, 5% S, and 5% ash. Calculate the stoichiometric ratio (air:fuel ratio) by mass. 3. A fuel is a mixture of 60% methane (CH, ), 30% carbon monoxide (CO), and 10% oxygen (O2 ) by volume. Calculate the theoretical oxygen needed in combustion. 4. A gaseous fuel contains: 5% CO2, 40% H2, 40% CH4, 15% N2 by volume. Determine the theoretical air needed and the % content of each dry product. 5. 1.8 g of a coal sample was weighed in a silica crucible. After heating for an hour at 110°C, the residue weighed 1.680 g. The crucible was then covered with a vented lid and strongly heated for exactly seven minutes at 950 ± 20 °C. The residue weighed 0.910 g. The crucible was then heated without the cover, until a constant weight was obtained. The last residue was found to be 0.250 g. Determine the ash, moisture, volatile matter and fixed carbon content of the coal sample. 6. 1.00g of a sample of coal was burnt completely in bomb calorimeter. The calorific value of coal was found to be 8,600 cal/g. The ash formed in calorimeter was extracted with acid and the acid extract was heated with barium chloride solution and a precipitate of barium sulfate was obtained. The precipitate was filtered, dried and weighed and was found to be 0.10 g. Calculate the percentage of sulfur in the sample.
