Chapter 5, Problem 5.63P
A stream of liquid n-pentane flows at a rate of 50.4 L/mm into a heating chamber, where it evaporates into a stream of air 15% in excess of the amount needed to bum the pentane completely. The temperature and gauge pressure of the entering air are 336 K and 208.6 kPa. The pentane-laden heated gas flows into a combustion furnace in which a fraction of the pentane is burned. The product gas, which contains all of the unreacted pentane and no CO. goes to a condenser in which both the water formed in the furnace and the unreacted pentane are liquefied. The uncondensed gas leaves the condenser at 275 K and 1 atm absolute. The liquid condensate is separated into its components, and the flow rate of the pentane is measured and found to be 3.175 kg/mm.
(a) Calculate the fractional conversion of pentane achieved in the furnace and the volumetric flow rates (L/min) of the feed air, the gas leaving the condenser, and the liquid condensate before its components are separated.
(b) Sketch the apparatus that could have been used to separate the pentane and water in the condensate. Hint: Remember that pentane is a hydrocarbon and recall what is said about oil (hydrocarbons) and water.

Producer 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 mixture
