Question

Transcribed Image Text:A mixture of propane and butane is fed into a furnace where it is mixed with air. The furnace exhaust leaves the furnace at \(T_3 = 339 \, ^\circ \text{C}, \, P_3 = 786.0 \, \text{mmHg} \) and contains only \( \text{N}_2, \, \text{O}_2, \, \text{CO}_2, \) and \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \). The partial pressure of \( \text{O}_2 \) in the exhaust is \( p_{\text{O}_2} = 10.38 \, \text{mmHg} \), and the partial pressure of \( \text{CO}_2 \) in the exhaust is \( p_{\text{CO}_2} = 85.67 \, \text{mmHg} \).
**Diagram Description:**
Diagram of a furnace process is presented:
- **Inputs to the Furnace:**
- \( n_1 \), a mixture of propane (\( \text{C}_3\text{H}_8 \)) and butane (\( \text{C}_4\text{H}_{10} \))
- \( n_2 \), air comprising \( \text{N}_2 \) and \( \text{O}_2 \)
- **Outputs from the Furnace:**
- Products \( n_3 \) at temperature \( T_3 \) and pressure \( P_3 \), containing \( \text{CO}_2, \, \text{H}_2\text{O}, \, \text{O}_2, \) and \( \text{N}_2 \)
**Question:**
What is the mole fraction of propane in the fuel stream?
**Calculations Box:**
A box is provided for the answer, labeled as "mole fraction:" with units \( \text{mol} \, \text{C}_3\text{H}_8 / \text{mol} \).

Transcribed Image Text:**Mole Fraction and Dew Point Temperature Analysis**
1. **Mole Fraction of \( \text{C}_3\text{H}_8 \):**
- Input box for mole fraction.
- Units: mol \( \text{C}_3\text{H}_8 \)/mol
2. **Mole Fraction of Water in the Exhaust Stream:**
- Input box for mole fraction.
- Units: mol \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \)/mol
3. **Dew Point Temperature of the Exhaust Gas:**
- Input box for dew point temperature.
- Units: °C
**Instructions:**
- Fill in the boxes with the appropriate values.
- Ensure all fractions and temperatures are calculated based on your data set or experimental results.
