Problem 4 A fuel gas has a composition by volume of: 50% H2 , 6% CO2, 4% N2 , 40% CO. The dry exhaust gas analysis (% by volume) of the actual combustion process indicates 9.2% CO2, 0% CO, some O2. Recall that for gases, volumetric composition is the same as molar composition. (a) What air/gas ratio (by volume) is required for stoichiometric combustion? (m? air/ m² fuel gas) (b) What air/gas ratio (by volume) has actually been used? (m’...

You are in charge of a combustion furnace. The furnace is fed an air stream and a methane stream which is combusted to produce heat that is used to boil water and produce steam for your plant. The combustion of fuels using an air stream which contains nitrogen generally produces significant amounts of NO, compounds which are an air pollutant, so the exhaust gases must generally be removed through various processes. In this case, your furnace exhaust is passed through...
