Chapter 9, Problem 9.77P

Methane is burned with 25% excess air in a continuous adiabatic reactor. The methane enters the reactor at 25°C and 1.10 atm at a rate of 550 L/s, and the entering air is at 150°C and 1.1 atm. Combustion in the reactor is complete, and the reactor effluent gas emerges at 1.05 atm.

  1. Calculate the temperature and the degrees of superheat of the reactor effluent. (Consider water to be the only condensable species in the effluent.)
  2. Suppose only 15% excess air is supplied. Without doing any additional calculations, state how the temperature and degrees of superheat of the reactor effluent would be affected [increase, decrease, remain the same, cannot tell without more information] and explain your reasoning. What risk is involved in lowering the percent excess air?

Consider the combustion of one mole of methane gas:CH4(gas) + 2O2(gas) --> CO2 (gas) + 2H2O(gas).The system is at standard temperature (298 K) and pressure (105 Pa) both before and after the reaction. 1.) First imagine the process of converting a mole of methane into its elemental consituents (graphite and hydrogen gas). Use the data at the back of this book to find ΔH for this process. 2.) Now imagine forming a mole of CO2 and two moles of water vapor from their elemental constituents. Determine ΔH for this process.     Question: How much heat is given off during this reaction, assuming that no "other" forms of work are done?
Consider the combustion of one mole of methane gas:CH4(gas) + 2O2(gas) --> CO2 (gas) + 2H2O(gas).The system is at standard temperature (298 K) and pressure (105 Pa) both before and after the reaction. 1.) First imagine the process of converting a mole of methane into its elemental consituents (graphite and hydrogen gas). Use the data at the back of this book to find ΔH for this process. 2.) Now imagine forming a mole of CO2 and two moles of water vapor from their elemental constituents. Determine ΔH for this process.     Question: What is ΔH for the actual reaction in which methane and oxygen form carbon dioxide and water vapor directly? Explain.
1 mol propane (C3H8) and stoichiometric amount of oxygen (O2) needed to combust propane was preheated to 400 K. After combustion, the products released are at 1500 K. The combustion products are H2O(l) and CO2(g). With 100% conversion was achieved, estimate the total heat released. 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. The reactants entered the reactor at 298.15 K and 100% conversion of methane is achieved. Assume air is approximately 21% O2 and 79% N2 and products are H2O(l) and CO2(g). Hint for both #1 and #2 – Combustion products at 298 K is CO2(g) and H2O(l). If the exiting temperature is above 373.15 K, H2O will leave as H2O(g). Therefore, you should account for the phase change of H2O(l) to H2O(g).
