Design a flow control system for the reactants of a combustion process. In the system, the amounts of N2 and O2 are controlled separately and combined with the fuel in the mixing chamber. The system must be able to deliver a reactant mixture at rates between 0.1 ft3/s and 1 ft3/s, at a pressure of 50 psia. The volumetric ratio between the N2 and O2 must be able to be varied between 2 and 3.76. The fuel to be used is CH4, and the volumetric ratio between the CH4 and the O2 must be able to vary between 0.4 and 0.7. The gases originally come from separate tanks at a pressure of 250 psia. Specify the flow equipment to be used, describe how it will be controlled, and identify any regulators needed and the piping requirements.
