Chapter 9, Problem 9.67P
A coal contains 73.0 wt% C, 4.7% H (not including the hydrogen in the coal moisture), 3.7% S, 6.8% H2O, and 11.8% ash. The coal is burned at a rate of50,000 lbm/h in a power-plant boiler with air 50% in excess of that needed to oxidize all the carbon in the coal to CO2. The air and coal are both fed at 77°F and 1 atm. The solid residue from the furnace is analyzed and is found to contain 28.7 wt% C, 1.6% S, and the balance ash. The sulfur oxidized in the furnace is converted to SO2(g). Of the ash in the coal, 30% emerges in the solid residue and the balance is emitted with the stack gases as fly ash. The stack gas and solid residue emerge from the furnace at 600°F. The higher heating value of the coal is 18,000 Btu/lbm.
- Calculate the mass flow rates of all components in the stack gas and the volumetric flow rate of this gas. (Ignore the contribution of the fly ash in the latter calculation, and assume that the stack gas contains a negligible amount of CO.)
- Assume that the heat capacity of the solid furnace residue is 0.22 Btu/(lbm·°F), that of the stack gas is the heat capacity per unit mass of nitrogen, and 35% of the heat generated in the furnace is used to produce electricity. At what rate in MW is electricity produced?
- Calculate the ratio (heat transferred from the furnace )/(heating value of the fuel). Why is this ratio less than one?
- Suppose the air fed to the furnace were preheated rather than being fed at ambient temperature, but that every thing else (feed rates, outlet temperatures, and fractional coal conversion) were the same. What effect would this change have on the ratio calculated in Part (c)? Explain. Suggest an economical way in which this preheating might be accomplished. Exploratory Exercises—Research and Discover

A chemical manufacturer produces ethylene oxide by burning ethylene gas with air in the presence of catalyst. If the conditions are carefully controlled, a substantial fraction of ethylene remains unconverted and some is completely oxidized to form carbon dioxide and water. Formation of carbon monoxide is negligible. After the gases leaving the absorber is as follows: 9.6%CO2, 3.0%O2 and 6.4% ethylene. Of the ethylene entering the reactor, what percentage is converted to ethylene oxide?
The oxidation of ethylene to produce ethylene oxide proceeds according to the equation2C 2H 4 +O 2 ! 2C 2H 4OThe feed to a reactor contains 100 kmol C 2H 4 and 100 kmol O 2.
Which reactant is limiting?
0.1 g of a sample of coal was used in a bomb calorimeter for the determination of
calorific value. The ash formed was extracted with acid and the acid extract was heated with
BaCl2 solution and a precipitate of BaSO4 was obtained. The precipitate was filtered, dried
and weighed. The weight of precipitate was found to be 0.01 g. Calculate the percentage of
sulfur in the coal sample.

- The boiler in an apartment building uses propane (C3H8) to heat water that circulates throughout the building as steam. 1.00 m'/s of propane gas at 25°C and 1 atm is combusted with 10% excess air at 25°C and 1 atm. After all of the propane is combusted, the product gas contains a 10.0:1 molar ratio of CO2 to CO and leaves the boiler at 25°C.

The temperature of the heterogenous mixture was decreased by 1.70K.Prior to this, the calorimeter was calibrated using a 15mL aqueous reaction mixture that initially contains 0.070 moles each of HBr and KOH.

After combustion, the products released are at 1500 K. The combustion products are H2O(l) and CO2(g). With 100% conversion was achieved, estimate the total heat released. Calculate the heat requirement for a reactor in combusting 1 mol of methane, CH4, with 25% excess air until the products reach a temperature of 1000 K. The reactants entered the reactor at 298.15 K and 100% conversion of methane is achieved. Assume air is approximately 21% O2 and 79% N2 and products are H2O(l) and CO2(g). Hint for both #1 and #2 – Combustion products at 298 K is CO2(g) and H2O(l). If the exiting temperature is above 373.15 K, H2O will leave as H2O(g). Therefore, you should account for the phase change of H2O(l) to H2O(g).arrow_forward
- 6- Floor beams of a transport airplane have been designed using an aluminum alloy containing 4.5 wt% Cu and 1.5 wt% Mg for a total weight of 95000 N. A customer has ordered the airplane but requested that its total weight be reduced by 10 percent for fuel saving purposes. An engineer in the design and analysis department has suggested that the weight saving objective can be accomplished by replacing the current aluminum alloy of the floor beams with another one containing 3 wt% Li and 1 wt% Cu. Is this possible? Answer the question by first determining the weight saving that will take place using the Al-Li alloy.
