2. Natural gas containing a mixture of methane, ethane, propane, and butane is burned in a furnace with excess air. One hundred kmol/h of a gas containing 94.4 mole% methane, 3.40% ethane, 0.60% propane, and 0.50% butane is to be burned with 17% excess air. a) Calculate the molar flow rate of the air. b) Now instead of using numerical values, we will work the problem by deriving an equation. Define the following variables: i.molar flow of the fuel gas:...
The stream "1" consisting of yP1 mole % propane and yEl mole % ethane is blended with the stream "2" containing propane alone and the stream "3"containing nitrogen alone in a mixer in order to produce a gas mixture at Qp inch'/hr. The gas mixture produced with the streams "I". "2", and "3" contains xPP mass % propane, XEP mas % ethane, and XNP mass % nitrogen. The pressure and temperature of the product stream are PtPpsig and TP®F, respectively....
A natural gas fuel consists of the following volumetric composition: Methane, CH4: 92.5 % Ethane, C2H6: 3.7 % Propane, C3H8: 0.8 % Nitrogen, N2: 3 % (a) Write out the complete combustion equations for all the combustible constituents individually. (b) Calculate the stoichiometric air to fuel (A/F) ratio on a volume basis. (c) Determine the wet volumetric analysis of the combustion products. (d) Find the dry volumetric analysis of the combustion products.
a) A natural gas fuel contains 80 v/o methane, 10 v/o ethane, and 10 v/o propane. Determine the heat released by combustion of 1m3 of the gas. Assume that products of combustion are CO2 and liquid H2O. b) How would the answer to part (a) change if the water produced were vaporized?
Natural gas is typically about 95% methane. The other 5% is a complex mixture of other hydrocarbons (percent by mass). Let’s assume the 5% is all ethane, C2H6. Balance and calculate the heat of combustion of ethane, ∆Hcomb (kJ/mole), using reaction below. C2H6 (g) + O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + H2O (g)
