Chapter 9, Problem 9.67P
A coal contains 73.0 wt% C, 4.7% H (not including the hydrogen in the coal moisture), 3.7% S, 6.8% H2O, and 11.8% ash. The coal is burned at a rate of50,000 lbm/h in a power-plant boiler with air 50% in excess of that needed to oxidize all the carbon in the coal to CO2. The air and coal are both fed at 77°F and 1 atm. The solid residue from the furnace is analyzed and is found to contain 28.7 wt% C, 1.6% S, and the balance ash. The sulfur oxidized in the furnace is converted to SO2(g). Of the ash in the coal, 30% emerges in the solid residue and the balance is emitted with the stack gases as fly ash. The stack gas and solid residue emerge from the furnace at 600°F. The higher heating value of the coal is 18,000 Btu/lbm.
- Calculate the mass flow rates of all components in the stack gas and the volumetric flow rate of this gas. (Ignore the contribution of the fly ash in the latter calculation, and assume that the stack gas contains a negligible amount of CO.)
- Assume that the heat capacity of the solid furnace residue is 0.22 Btu/(lbm·°F), that of the stack gas is the heat capacity per unit mass of nitrogen, and 35% of the heat generated in the furnace is used to produce electricity. At what rate in MW is electricity produced?
- Calculate the ratio (heat transferred from the furnace )/(heating value of the fuel). Why is this ratio less than one?
- Suppose the air fed to the furnace were preheated rather than being fed at ambient temperature, but that every thing else (feed rates, outlet temperatures, and fractional coal conversion) were the same. What effect would this change have on the ratio calculated in Part (c)? Explain. Suggest an economical way in which this preheating might be accomplished. Exploratory Exercises—Research and Discover

0.1 g of a sample of coal was used in a bomb calorimeter for the determination of
calorific value. The ash formed was extracted with acid and the acid extract was heated with
BaCl2 solution and a precipitate of BaSO4 was obtained. The precipitate was filtered, dried
and weighed. The weight of precipitate was found to be 0.01 g. Calculate the percentage of
sulfur in the coal sample.
The oxidation of ethylene to produce ethylene oxide proceeds according to the equation2C 2H 4 +O 2 ! 2C 2H 4OThe feed to a reactor contains 100 kmol C 2H 4 and 100 kmol O 2.
Which reactant is limiting?
The boiler in an apartment building uses propane (C3H8) to heat
water that circulates throughout the building as steam. 1.00
m'/s of propane gas at 25°C and 1 atm is combusted with 10%
excess air at 25°C and 1 atm. After all of the propane is
combusted, the product gas contains a 10.0:1 molar ratio of
CO2 to CO and leaves the boiler at 25°C. Heat from the boiler
is transferred to a pure water stream at 50°C and 1.0 bar, which
is converted into saturated steam at 20 bar, with no heat lost to
the surroundings in the process. What mass of water is heated
in this process?

Calculate the heat requirement for a reactor in combusting 1 mol of methane, CH4, with 25% excess air until the products reach a temperature of 1000 K.
