A pharmaceutical plant uses an incinerator to destroy its organic solvents including heptane (C7H16) (density = 0.684 kg m-3) which is used in the manufacturing process and cannot be recycled. Assuming that the relative humidity of the combustion air is 0% estimate the dew point when 600 L of heptane is incinerated with an A:F =1.12 if the pressure of flue gas leaving the chimney is 105 kPa. A) 63 oC B) 50 oC C)37oC D) 45oC

Follow-up Question

from stoichiometry equation we can say that we have 8 molecules of water

PH2OP = NH2ONTotal = 856.36 = 0.1419

 

i just dont understand where 856.36=0.1419 can you work that out please ?
