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 composition shows 4.7% CO2, 41% CO, 49% H2, 0.8% CH4 and 4.5%N2. If blue water gas at 25oC, 745 torrs and 90% RH is burned in wet air, 30% in excess, supplied at the same conditions as BWG with 85% RH, calculate: a) Orsat analysis of the stack gas if the molar ratio of CO2 to CO is 8:1; H2 to CO is 1:4 (Ans: 11.56% CO2, 1.44%CO) b) m3 air/m3 BWG (Ans: 2.88) c) m3 stack gas(100 kPa; 300oC)/100 moles dry BWG (Ans: 17036.81) (detailed solution please) thank you!

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 composition shows 4.7% CO2, 41% CO, 49% H2, 0.8% CH4 and 4.5%N2. If blue water gas at 25oC, 745 torrs and 90% RH is burned in wet air, 30% in excess, supplied at the same conditions as BWG with 85% RH, calculate:
a) Orsat analysis of the stack gas if the molar ratio of CO2 to CO is 8:1; H2 to CO is 1:4
(Ans: 11.56% CO2, 1.44%CO)
b) m3 air/m3 BWG (Ans: 2.88)
c) m3 stack gas(100 kPa; 300oC)/100 moles dry BWG (Ans: 17036.81)
