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 fuel gas containing 85.0 mole% methane and the balance ethane is burned completely with 15.0 % excess air. The stack gas leaves the furnace at 900.0 °C and is cooled to 450.0 °C in a waste-heat boiler, a heat exchanger in which heat lost by cooling gases is used to produce steam from liquid water for heating, power generation, or process applications. Physical Property Tables Combustion Gases Correct. Take as a basis 100.0 mol of the fuel gas fed...
A gaseous fuel mixture contains 25.3% methane (CH4), 38.2% ethane (C2H6), and the rest propane (C3H8) by volume. When the fuel mixture contained in a 1.76 L tank, stored at 756 mmHg and 298 K, undergoes complete combustion, how much heat is emitted? (Assume that the water produced by the combustion is in the gaseous state.) Express your answer with the appropriate units.
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)
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?
A natural gas containing 82 mole% CH, and the balance C2H6 is used as a fuel to generate steam in an industrial plant (Figure 2). The natural gas is fed into a furnace at 25°C and burned at a rate of 10.000 mol/hr with 20% excess air. The heat transferred from the furnace is used to convert a liquid feed water at 25 °C into a saturated steam at 30 bar. During the combustion of natural gas, all the CH,...
12. Methane, a major component in natural gas, can be used as a fuel in combustion reactions (proposed by oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens in an add campaign this past year). What is the maximum amount of work (in kJ) that could be supplied by following reaction under the given conditions at 298 K? CH4 (g) + 2 O2(g) Æ CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (g) where ΔHo rxn = -803 kJ and ΔSo rxn = -4.00 J/K and PCH4...

Problem 9.60 Fuel Gas Combustion A fuel gas containing 55.00 mole% methane and the balance ethane is burned completely with pure oxygen at 25.00°C, and the products are cooled to 25.00°C. Physical Property Tables Continuous Reactor Suppose the reactor is continuous. Take a basis of calculation of 1.000 mol/s of the fuel gas, assume some value for the percent excess oxygen fed to the reactor (the value you choose will not affect the results), and calculate -Q (kw), the rate...
