Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Explain whether a fuel air mixture that is too lean or too rich will ignite.
Concept introduction:
It is given that the lower flammability and upper flammability limits of propane is 2.3 mole% and 9.5 mole%.
The gas mixture of propane will burn if the propane mole percentage is within this range. The mixture will not burn if the percentage is not within this range.
(b)
Interpretation:
Calculate the minimum molar flow rate of the diluting gas.
Concept introduction:
It is given that the lower flammability and upper flammability limits of propane is 2.3 mole% and 9.5 mole%.
The gas mixture of propane will burn if the propane mole percentage is within this range. The mixture will not burn if the percentage is not within this range.
In addition,
Total material balance at steady state can be written as,
Materials into the system = Materials out of the system
(c)
Interpretation:
Estimate the ratio of diluting air to fuel gas and the percentage of propane.
Concept introduction:
It is given that the lower flammability and upper flammability limits of propane is 2.3 mole% and 9.5 mole%.
The gas mixture of propane will burn if the propane mole percentage is within this range. The mixture will not burn if the percentage is not within this range.
The actual diluting air is given as 130% of the minimum value.
In addition,
Total material balance at steady state can be written as,
Materials into the system = Materials out of the system
(d)
Interpretation:
Explain why feeding air rate is greater than the minimum value.
Concept introduction:
It is given that the lower flammability and upper flammability limits of propane is 2.3 mole% and 9.5 mole%.
The gas mixture of propane will burn if the propane mole percentage is within this range. The mixture will not burn if the percentage is not within this range.

EBK ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES OF CHEMICAL P
- Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?arrow_forwardIculating an equilibr composition after a prior equililbrium... "Synthesis gas" is a mixture of carbon monoxide and water vapor. At high temperature synthesis gas will form carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and in fact this reaction is one of the ways hydrogen is made industrially. A chemical engineer studying this reaction fills a s0 L tank with 18. mol of carbon monoxide gas and 23. mol of water vapor. When the mixture has come to equilibrium she determines that it contains 7.0 mol of carbon monoxide gas, 12. mol of water vapor and 11. mol of hydrogen gas. The engineer then adds another 5.0 mol Of carbon monoxide, and allows the mixture to come to equilibrium again. Calculate the moles of carbon dioxide after equilibrium is reached the second time.

- I have been asking this question in parts. The solutions I have received from other Bartleby asks are included. I only need help with the last part. I am assuming you substitute into the Kc expression, but I don't understand where the other concentrations come from.arrow_forwardUCI Chemistry researchers, Prof. F. Sherwood Rowland and Dr. Mario Molina werefirst to discovered in 1973 that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were depleting the Earth’sozone layer when released into the atmosphere. Once they reach the stratosphere, Clis released from the CFCs molecules by interaction with UV light. Free Cl atoms areable to react with ozone in a catalytic cycle that converts O3into the more stable O2.It is estimated that a single Cl atom is able to react with∼100000 O3molecules.Although CFCs production was banned in 1996, there are still a substantial numberof motor vehicle air conditioners (MVACs) that use CFC-12 (CF2Cl2) as refrigerant.The average CFC-12 emission rate from operating MVACs has been estimated tobe 59.5 mg per hour per vehicle (Zhang et al.Environ. Sci. Technol. Lett.2017).How much chlorine, in kg, is added to the atmosphere in a year due to 100 millionMVACs using CFC-12 as refrigerant?arrow_forwardPrompt 2- How can a new substance (a gas) be produced and the total mass of the closed system not change?arrow_forward
