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.
