Where, the volume (V) occupied by ‘n’ moles of any gas has a pressure (P) at temperature (T) in Kelvin and ‘R’ = Gas constant
(b)
Interpretation:
Estimate the required mass flow rate of nitrogen in g/min using conversion from standard volume of gas moles.
Concept introduction:
The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,
Where, the volume (V) occupied by ‘n’ moles of any gas has a pressure (P) at temperature (T) in Kelvin and ‘R’ = Gas constant
In addition, at standard temperature and pressure 1 mol of ideal gas occupies 22.4 liters.

- The combustion gases from an industrial furnace using a hydrocarbon fuel and dry air enter the stack gas at normal barometric pressure and 3750F and have the following Orsat analysis: 12.2% CO2, 3.1% O2, 1.2% CO, and 83.5% N2. Determine the following: (a) The percent excess air (b) The volume of gases entering the stack, expressed as cubic feet per pound of carbon burnt in the furnace (c) The dew point of the stack gas (d) The atomic ratio of hydrogen to carbon in the fuel (e) The mol of stack gas per atom of carbon burntarrow_forwardProducer gas is a fuel that is manufactured from the reaction of coal, steam and air. A producer gas has the following composition by volume (dry basis): 20.35% CO, 11.03%, CO2, 15% H2, 51.43% N2, 1.98%O2 and 0.21 % CH4. The gas is flowing at 6000 cfm. It has a temperature of 200℃ , a pressure of 21 cm Hg and a partial pressure of 50 mm Hg for H2O. The atmospheric pressure is 758 mm Hg. The gas is delivered from the source to the furnace by means of a pipe. It cools down to 50 ℃ and is compressed to 2 atm pressure. At this condition, calculate:1. the volumetric flow ate2. the mass flow rate3. the partial pressure of each component/including water)4. complete analysis of the mixturearrow_forwardP1A.6 The molar mass of a newly synthesized fluorocarbon was measured in a gas microbalance. is device consists of a glass bulb forming one end of a beam, the whole surrounded by a closed container. The beam is pivoted, and the balance point is attained by raising the pressure of gas in the container, so increasing the buoyancy of the enclosed bulb. In one experiment, the balance point was reached when the fluorocarbon pressure was 327.10Torr; for the same setting of the pivot, a balance was reached when CHF3 (M = 70.014 g mol−1) was introduced at 423.22 Torr. A repeat of the experiment with a di erent setting of the pivot required a pressure of 293.22 Torr of the uorocarbon and 427.22 Torr of the CHF3. What is the molar mass of the fluorocarbon? Suggest a molecular formula.arrow_forward
