Applying the Second Law to Reacting Systems
Coal with a mass analysis of 88% C, 6% H, 4% O, 1% N, 1% S burns completely with the theoretical amount of air. Determine
(a) the amount of SO2 produced, in kg per kg of coal.
(b) the air-fuel ratio on a mass basis.
(c) For environmental reasons, it is desired to separate the SO2 from the combustion products by supplying the products at 340 K, 1 atm to a device operating isothermally at 340 K. At steady state, a stream of SO2 and a stream of the remaining gases exit, each at 340 K, 1 atm. If the coal is burned at a rate of 10 kg/s, determine the minimum theoretical power input required by the device, in kW. Heat transfer with the surroundings occurs, but kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored.
