Liquid n-Butane (C4H10) at 25°C enters a
combustion chamber at a rate of 0.9 kg/min
and is
burned completely with 130% excess air that
enters the combustion chamber at 290 K and
100
kPa, and the exit temperature of the
combustion gases is 1280 K. Determine the
maximum work potential (reversible work) per
kg of the n-Butane fuel.
Why am I not getting this right , am I doing a calculation wrong for the final answer
(m=q2 x h1-h2=8470 x 2684.9-943.62=22740159.38 ) ?
A boiler furnace releases 11 000 kJ of heat for each kg of fuel burned and produces dry saturated steam at 12 000 kPa from feedwater at 220°C. How many kg of steam will be produced for each kg of fuel burned if the boiler had an efficiency of 77%?.
heat generated by burning 1 kg of fuel , q1=11000 kj/kg
heat used to boil water by burning 1kg of fuel ; q2=q1x difference fraction=11000x0.77=8470 kj
from steam tables:
enthalpy of saturated steam @ 12000 kpa , h1=2684.9 kj/kg
enthalpy of water @ 220 degrees celcius=943.62
mass of steam produced by burning 1 kg of fuel ; m=q2 x h1-h2=8470 x 2684.9-943.62=22740159.38
