A gaseous fuel containing methane and ethane is burned with excess air. The fuel enters the furnace at 25°C and 1 atm, and the air enters at 200°C and 1 atm. The stack gas leaves the furnace at 800°C and 1 atm and contains 5.32 mole% CO2, 1.60% CO, 7.32% O2, 12.24% H2O, and the balance N2.
- Calculate the molar percentages of methane and ethane in the fuel gas and the percentage excess air fed to the reactor.
