A fuel containing 75% ethane and 25% propane is burned with dry air. All the H2 burns to H2O and the CO2 to CO ratio is 11:1. 20% excess air is supplied. Calculate:a. Mole flue gas/100 moles of fuel b. Orsat analysis of the flue gas c. Complete analysis of the flue gas d. m3 dry air at 28 °C, 765 mmHg per kmol fuel
How many molecules of propane gas, C3H8, must be combusted to produce 1000. L of carbon dioxide at 100C and 1.00 atmosphere? ___C3H8 +___O2-->
Long-term space missions require reclamation of the oxygen in the carbon dioxide exhaled by the crew. In one method of reclamation, 1.00 mol of carbon dioxide produces 1.00 mol of oxygen, with 1.00 mol of methane as a by-product. The methane is stored in a tank under pressure and is available to control the attitude of the spacecraft by controlled venting. A single astronaut exhales 1.19 kg of carbon dioxide each day. If the methane generated in the recycling of three astronauts' respiration during one week of flight is stored in an originally empty 165-L tank at −45.0°C, what is the final pressure in the tank? (MPa)

Coal-fired power plants emit CO2, which is one of the gases that is of concern with regard to global warming. A technique that power plants can adopt to keep most of the CO2 from entering the air is called CO2 capture and storage (CCS). If the incremental cost of the sequestration process is $0.019 per kilowatt-hour, what is the present worth of the extra cost over a 3-year period to a manufacturing plant that uses 100,000 kWh of power per month? The interest rate is 12% per year compounded quarterly.
Two-hundred fifty pounds per hour of iron pyrites containing 90% FeS2 and 10% gangue are burned with 20% excess air based on conversion to SO3. The cinder discharged from the burner contains no sulfur. No conversion to SO3 occurs in the burner. The burner gas is passed through a converter which effects a 98% conversion of SO2 to SO3. The converter gas is passed to an absorber where all the SO3 is absorbed by 80% H2SO4 solution, which becomes 100% H2SO4 solution in the process. Establish a basis of one hundred pounds of iron pyrites Calculate: (a) the burner gas analysis, (b) the converter gas analysis, (c) pounds of 100% H2SO4 produced per 24-h day, if waste gas analyzes 0.19% SO2, 4.14% O2 and 95.67% N2
A fuel containing 80% CH4 and 20% C2H6 is burned with dry air. Sixty percent of the carbon burned goes to CO2, the rest going to CO. Fifty percent excess air is used. Calculate the number of moles of each constituents of the wet flue gas produced by combustion of 100 mole of fuel gas, and also the Orsat analysis of the flue gas.
The reaction of solid calcium fluoride and sulfuric acid produces calcium sulfate solids and gaseous HF. The gas product is dissolved in water to form hydrofluoric acid. Fluorite ore, a source of calcium fluoride, contains 95%wt CaF2 and 5%wt SiO2. In a certain process, the ore is reacted with 93%wt aqueous sulfuric acid, supplied 15% in excess. From this, 95% of the ore dissolves in the acid. Some of the HF formed reacts with the dissolved silica in the reaction: HF reacts with SiO2 to produce H2SiF6 and liquid water. If 60%wt of hydrofluoric acid was formed when hydrogen fluoride (which exits the reactor) is dissolved in water, determine the amount of ore needed to produce one metric ton of acid. Report your answers to one decimal place only.
(a) A commercial 737 jet transporting 143 passengers and 5 crew members from Kansas City (MCI) to Baltimore (BWI) burned 11,800 lb (about 1700 gallons) of Jet A fuel en route. Jet A fuel is kerosine based, consisting primarily of CnH2n+2 hydrocarbons, with n =6 to 16, so the carbon:hydrogen ratio is close to 1:2. During this flight, how much CO2 was released into the atmosphere? Assume the combustion of the fuel was complete, so all the fuel was burned to form CO2 and H2O. Give both the mass of CO2 produced (in kg and in lbs) and the volume it would occupy at 298 K, 1 atm.(b) How much CO2 would be released into the atmosphere if those passengers and crew made the trip instead, in pairs, in hybrid cars at 40 miles per gallon. Assume the density of the gasoline is 0.75 kg L-1 and that carbon and hydrogen dominate the composition in a ratio of 1:2. The road trip is 1082 miles.
Volumetric analysis of the products of combustion of an unknown hydrocarbon, measured on a dry basis, gives 10.4% CO2 1.2% CO 2.8% O2, and 85.6% N2 Determine: a): the complete actual combustion equation, with coefficients of O2 and N2 separately in the reactants, b): the composition of the hydrocarbon and tell that whether such specie exists in nature. c): the percent theoretical air. Take oxygen in air as: 23.3% by mass and 21% by mole. NOTE: Do not solve this problem in tabulated form, otherwise your answer will be considered totally wrong.
The air has a dry ball temperature of 32 °C and a wet bulb temperature of 24 °C is heated in a heater so that the temperature of the dry ball increases to 90 °C. The air is then passed through the corn kernels pile to dry. air that comes out of the pile of corn kernels to dry. The air that exits the corn kernels is at a dry bulb temperature of 60 °C. then this air is passed to the dehumidifier to reduce its RH to 10 %.
