Question
Question 1. Consider a flue gas containing (N2, CO2, CO, O2 and H₂O). The molar composition on a dry basis is as follows: N₂: 60%, CO2: 10%, CO: 5%. The molar percentage of H₂O on a wet basis is 25%. Assume that the flow rate of flue gas is 100 mol/h on a dry basis. a) Calculate the amount of H₂O in the flue gas. b) Estimate the percentage of O₂ on a wet basis. c) What happens to your answer in part b if the flue gas is heated such that all the moisture present in the gas is evaporated? Justify your answer.
