2. For the combustion of ethanol with air, the reaction proceeds according to the unbalanced reaction below: C₂H6O + O₂ => CO₂ + H₂O An air stream is fed to a reactor to provide oxygen. The reactor operates at steady state, and all reactants and products are gaseous phase. All left over reactants and created products leave the reactor in a single stream. The oxygen is supplied in excess by 10%, and the fractional conversion of the ethanol is 75%. Calculate the mole fraction of ethanol in the outlet stream.

Transcribed Image Text:2. For the combustion of ethanol with air, the reaction proceeds according to the unbalanced
reaction below:
C₂H6O + O₂ => CO₂ + H₂O
An air stream is fed to a reactor to provide oxygen. The reactor operates at steady state, and all
reactants and products are gaseous phase. All left over reactants and created products leave
the reactor in a single stream. The oxygen is supplied in excess by 10%, and the fractional
conversion of the ethanol is 75%. Calculate the mole fraction of ethanol in the outlet stream.
