Blue water gas (BWG) is obtained by passing steam over red hot carbon-enriched coal. The gas is called "blue" water gas due to the blue flame associated with the process, a characteristics of the combustion of CO. A typical composition shows 4.9% CO2, 40.8% CO, 49% H2, 0.9% CH4, and 4.4% N2. Blue water gas at 23 C, 748 mmHg, and 90% is burned in wet air, supplied 30% in excess at the same condition as the blue water gas at 85% RH. The molar ratio of CO2 to CO in the flue gas is 1:8.

Question

Blue water gas (BWG) is obtained by passing steam over red hot carbon-enriched coal. The gas is called "blue" water gas due to the blue flame associated with the process, a characteristics of the combustion of CO. A typical composition shows 4.9% CO₂, 40.8% CO, 49% H₂, 0.9% CH₄, and 4.4% N₂. Blue water gas at 23 C, 748 mmHg, and 90% is burned in wet air, supplied 30% in excess at the same condition as the blue water gas at 85% RH. The molar ratio of CO₂ to CO in the flue gas is 1:8. Calculate:

a. Orsat analysis of the flue gas

b. m³ air/m³ BWG

c. m³ flue gas (at 100 kPa, 300 C)/100 moles of BWG
