Applying the Second Law to Reacting Systems

Methane (CH4) at 77°F, 1 atm enters an insulated reactor operating at steady state and burns completely with air entering in a separate stream at 77°F, 1 atm. The products of combustion exit as a mixture at 1 atm. For the reactor, determine the rate of entropy production, in Btu/°R per lbmol of methane entering, for combustion with

(a) the theoretical amount of air.

(b) 200% of theoretical air.

Neglect kinetic and potential energy effects.
