Chapter 9, Problem 9.59P

A fuel gas is known to contain methane, ethane, and carbon monoxide. A sample of the gas is charged into an initially evacuated 2.000-liter vessel at 25°C and 2323 mm fig absolute. The vessel is weighed before and after being charged, and the mass difference is found to be 4.929 g. Next, the higher heating value of the gas is determined in a calorimeter to be 841.9 kJ/mol.

  1. Calculate the molar composition of the fuel gas.

  • Calculate the lower heating value of the gas. State in your own words the physical significance of the calculated value.

    Ex. HW. A vertical glass tube, 2cm ID & 5m long in heated uniformly over its length. The water enter at (200-204 C) & 68.9 bar calculated the pressure drop if the flowrate 0.15 Kg/s & the power applied as a heat to the fluid is 100KW using the homogeneous model. Given that enthalpy at inlet temp.=0.87MJ/Kg, enthalpy saturation temp (285C)=1.26 MJ/Kg and μl=0.972*10-4 Ns/m2, μG=2.89*10-5 Ns/m2, UG=2.515*10-2m3/Kg and the change in UG over range of pressure=-4.45*10-4m3/Kg/bar.
    4. An experimental test rig is used to examine two-phase flow regimes in horizontal pipelines. A particular experiment involved uses air and water at a temperature of 25°C, which flow through a horizontal glass tube with an internal diameter of 25.4 mm and a length of 40 m. Water is admitted at a controlled rate of 0.026 kgs at one end and air at a rate of 5 x 104 kgs in the same direction. The density of water is 1000 kgm³, and the density of air is 1.2 kgm. Determine the mass flow rate, the mean density, gas void fraction, and the superficial velocities of the air and water. Answer: 0.02605 kgs 1, 61.1 kgm³, 0.94, 0.822 ms-1, 0.051 ms-1
