A fuel gas containing 85.0 mole% methane and the balance ethane is burned completely with pure oxygen at 25°C, and the products are cooled to 25°C.
Suppose the reactor is continuous. Take a basis of calculation of 1 mol/s of the fuel gas, assume some value for the percent excess oxygen fed to the reactor (the value you choose will not affect the results), and calculate —
- , the rate at which heat must be transferred from the reactor.

- (b) Heat is generated by the core of a nuclear reactor, this heat is removed by pumping cooling water through the core at a rate of 45 x 106 kg/h to generate steam. Cooling water, initially at 30 °C is continuously pumped through the reactor so that the outlet temperature is 748 °C and the core temperature remains constant. Calculate the rate of heat generated by the core of a nuclear reactor (in joules per second). (The specific heat capacity of ice 2100 Jkg 'K1; water = 4190 Jkg K; steam 2010 Jkg K.
