Textbook Question
Chapter 33, Problem 7ASRQ
Technician A says that during oxidation, as NOx gases pass over the catalyst, the N atoms are pulled from the NOx molecules and are absorbed by the catalyst. The released oxygen atoms then flow through the converter to the second bed. The result of NOx oxidation is pure nitrogen plus oxygen or carbon dioxide. Technician B says that during the reduction phase inside the converter, hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide molecules experience a second combustion. The result of this combustion or oxidation process is water vapor and carbon dioxide. Who is correct?
a. Technician A only
b. Technician B only
c. Both A and B
d. Neither A nor B

One mole of fuel [CH] with a mole of air are mixed. The mixture
is ignited. The products analysis show the number mole of H₂O is equal to two
times the number moles of Oxygen and the total moles of products are 25.3 mole.
Take the equivalence ratio is 0.7, find the type of fuel.
d=29
The fuel supplied to a petrol engine is assumed to have the composition C10H22. If 42% excess air is supplied and combustion is complete . Calculate : 1- equivalence ratio. 2- The percentage volumetric.
1. A bituminous coal has the following composition as follows:
C=71.5%, O=6%, S-4.6% W=3.4% H=5% N=1.3% Ash=3.2%
Compute the amount of nitrogen produced during combustion process in lb/lb-coal. Also, determine
the stoichiometric amount of air present in the combustion.
