Liquid propane (C3H8) enters a combustion chamber at 25°C at a rate of 0.07 kg/min where it is mixed and burned with 40 percent excess air that enters the combustion chamber at 7°C. An analysis of the combustion gases reveals that all the hydrogen in the fuel burns to H,0 but only 75 percent of the carbon burns to CO,, with the remaining 25 percent forming CO. determine (a) the balanced equation for actual combustion process and (b) the mass flow rate of air.

Liquid propane (C3H8) enters a combustion chamber at 25°C at a rate of
0.07 kg/min where it is mixed and burned with 40 percent excess air that
enters the combustion chamber at 7°C. An analysis of the combustion
gases reveals that all the hydrogen in the fuel burns to H,0 but only 75
percent of the carbon burns to CO, with the remaining 25 percent forming
CO. determine (a) the balanced equation for actual combustion process
and (b) the mass flow rate of air.
