Blue Water Gas is obtained by passing steam over red-hot carbon enriched coal (coke). The gas is called "Blue" water gas because of its blue flame, a characteristic of the combustion of CO. A typical dry composition shows 4.7% CO2, 41% CO, 49% H₂, 0.8% CH4 and 4.5% N₂. If blue water gas at 25°C, 745 mmHg and 90% RH is burned in wet air, 30% in excess, supplied at the same conditions (P and T) as BWG with 85% RH. The stack gas is measured at 250°C and 745 mmHg. The molar ratio of CO₂ to CO in the stack gas is 8:1 and the molar ratio of H₂ to CO is 1:4. Solve for: 1. Orsat analysis of the stack gas 2. m³ air/kmol stack gas 3. dew point
