Question

a.) Calculate the flowrate of air fed to the reactor.

b.) Calculate the mole fraction of N2 in the fuel gas.

 

20%% 4. A CH4 – N2 fuel gas mixture is burned with air (80 mo% 02 and 20%) in a continuous steady-state combustion reactor to yield a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and water. The combustion reactions taking place are: (1) CH4 + 202 CO2 + 2H20 *complete combustion, the desired reaction CH4 +02 → CÓ + 2H20 *partial combustion, the side reaction The outlet flue gas is flowing at a rate of 100.0 mol/min and is composed of 6.0 % CO2, 1.0% CO, 3.5% O2, 75.5% N2, and 14.0 mol% H2O. A flow chart of the process is shown below, with the following notation: CO=C02, CO=CO, 0x=0, N=N and H20=W , citu=M (2) Fuel gas 100 mol/min İM1 = Outlet flue gas iM3 = 0 İN3 = .755 ňo3 = · 035 Combustion Reactor Air • 06 ńco2 3 йсо з nw 3 = ňo2 = •14
