A reaction between propane (C3H8) and air (O2 and N2) takes place in a reactor. Propane enters at 25°C and air at 25°C. The output of the reactor is at 600°C and contains, among others: 2.7 mole/s CO 44 mole/s CO2 280 mole/s H2O 4 mole/s propane 10 mole/s O2 Calculate the output enthalpy of CO2, in kW (kJ/s), starting from a basis of pure elements at 25°C having enthalpy of zero. All the output stream components are in their gas state.

A reaction between propane (C3H8) and air (O2 and N2) takes place in a reactor. Propane enters at 25°C and air at 25°C. The output of the reactor is at 600°C and contains, among others:
- 2.7 mole/s CO
- 44 mole/s CO2
- 280 mole/s H2O
- 4 mole/s propane
- 10 mole/s O2
Calculate the output enthalpy of CO2, in kW (kJ/s), starting from a basis of pure elements at 25°C having enthalpy of zero. All the output stream components are in their gas state.
