A fuel gas containing 85.0 mole% methane and the balance ethane is burned completely with pure oxygen at 25°C, and the products are cooled to 25°C.
Suppose the reactor is continuous. Take a basis of calculation of 1 mol/s of the fuel gas, assume some value for the percent excess oxygen fed to the reactor (the value you choose will not affect the results), and calculate —
- , the rate at which heat must be transferred from the reactor.
