Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The flowchart for the process needs to be drawn. The composition of the gas existing the furnace, the heat
Concept introduction:
From the block diagram of the process, we can elaborate composition of each molecule in gas. Steam generation rate can be calculated by energy balance on boiler and rate of heat generation can be found by total energy balance.
(b)
Interpretation:
The temperature of the entered air in the furnace and the rate of production of steam (kg/h) needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
In this part, first we have to calculate total enthalpy balance or steam generation rate. Then energy balance on air preheater.By comparing both the quantites we can calculate the temperature of the air entering into the furnace.
(c)
Interpretation:
Write the significance of air preheahing and reason for using combustion gases as heating media in boiler.
Concept introduction:
In this question we have to describe about working of air preheater and its effect on overall system performance.Air preheater eliminates heat loss of exhaust gases and increases efficiency.

ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES OF CHEM. PROCESS.
- 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 ₂. 1. Calculate the molar percentages of methane and ethane in the fuel gas and the percentage excess air fed to the reactor. 2. Calculate the heat (kJ) transferred from the reactor per cubic meter of fuel gas fed. 3. A proposal has been made to lower the feed rate of air to the furnace. State advantages and a drawback of doing so.arrow_forwardP2arrow_forwardQ1) A constant volume tank contain 1 mole ofC7H14and 12 mole of O2 gas at a temperature of 25 °C and 1 bar. The contents of the tank is ignited and C7H14 is burned completely and final products temperature is found to be 1700 K. Determine the heat transfer during this process.

The aqueous stream entering the reac-tor is at 25°C and contains 5 wt% glucose. Assuming this glucose is fully converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide, and that the product stream leaves the reactor at 35°C, estimate the amount of heat added or removed per kg of ethanol produced. Assume that the carbon dioxide remains dissolved in the product stream.arrow_forwardA gas mixture contains one-third methane by volume (recall what that means in terms of mole%) and the balance oxygen at 350°C and 3.0 bar. Calculate the specific enthalpy of this stream in kJ/kg (not per kmol) relative to the pure components at 25°C and 1 atm. State clearly all assumptions.arrow_forward
- A constant-volume tank initially contains 1 kmol of carbon monoxide CO and 3 kmol of oxygen O2 (no nitrogen) at 25°C and 2 atm. Now the mixture is ignited and the CO burns completely to carbon dioxide CO2. If the final temperature in the tank is 500 K, determine the final pressure in the tank and the amount of heat transfer. Is it realistic to assume that there will be no CO in the tank when chemical equilibrium is reached?arrow_forwardThe following entries are taken from a data table for saturated methyl chloride: State T°F) P(psia) V(t/lb) A(Btu/lbm) Liquid Vapor Vapor -40 6.878 0.01553 0.000 18.90 4.969 196.23 50 51.99 1.920 202.28 1.
