Question

1. A sample of coal was found to have the following percentage composition C= 75 %, H₂ = 5.2 %, O₂ = 12.8 %, N₂ = 1.2 % and the rest ash. Calculate the amount of air needed for the complete combustion if 1 kg of the coal is burnt with 30 % excess air.

2. A fuel contains C = 60 %, H₂ = 9 %, O₂ = 8 %, S = 13 %, remaining ash. Calculate the minimum quantity of air required for the complete combustion of 1kg of a fuel.

3. A fuel gas has the following volumetric analysis:
CH₄ = 70% C₃H₈ = 30%
Assume complete combustion with 15% excess air. Solve for the molal air-fuel ratio.
