1. Gaseous fuel consists of 20% CH4, 10% C2H6, 25% C3H8,
25%H2, 5% CO, 3% CO2, 3% O2, 4% N2 and 5% H2S. Calculate the
theoretical oxygen in air.
2. Pure ethane is burned completely in 20% excess air. Air is
supplied at 25oC, 740 torrs and is substantially dry. Calculate:
a) Orsat analysis of the products of combustion
b) kg dry air supplied/kg of fuel gas
c) Cubic meters of air/ kg ethane
d) Cubic meters of the products of combustion measured at
4000C,
100 a /kg ethane e) Partial pressure of water in the products
of combustion
3. Pure methane is burned with 40% excess air and 25% of its
carbon content is converted to CO the rest to CO2. 90% of its
hydrogen burns to water, the rest remains as unburned H2. Air
supplied is at 230C, 758 mm Hg with 80% RH. Calculate:
a) Orsat analysis of the combustion products
b) m3 of air supplied per kg methane
c) m3 of combustion products at 3500C and normal barometric
pressure per kg methane.
4. A pure saturated hydrocarbon (CnH2n+2) is burned with excess air. Orsat
analysis of the products of combustion shows 9.08% CO2, 1.63% CO, 5.28%
02 and no free H2. Calculate:
a) The formula of the hydrocarbon
b) % excess air
c) kg dry air/kg of hydrocarbon
