Problem Set 7

1. Pure ethane is burned completely in 20% excess air. Air is supplied


at 25˚C, 740 torr, and substantially dry. Calculate:
a. Orsat analysis of the products of combustion
b. kg air supplied / kg of fuel gas
c. m3 air / kg ethane
d. m3 of the products of combustion measured at 400˚C, 100 kPa /
kg ethane
e. Partial pressure of water in the products of combustion

2. Pure methane is burned with 40% excess air and 25% of its carbon
content is converted to CO, the rest to CO2. 90% of its hydrogen
burns to water, the rest remains as unburned H2. Air supplied is at
23˚C and 758 mmHg. Calculate:
a. Orsat analysis of the combustion products
b. m3 air supplied / kg methane
c. m3 of combustion products at 350˚C and normal barometric
pressure per kg methane

3. A blast furnace gas analyzing 27% CO, 12% CO2, 2% H2, 5% CH4,
and 54% N2 at 25˚C and 98 kPa is burned in 15% excess air. Air is
supplied at 30˚C and 762 torr. 90% of the total carbon in the fuel is
converted to CO2, the rest to CO. Molar ratio of H2 to CO is 1:4 in
the stack gas which leaves at 200˚C and 750 torr. Calculate:
a. Orsat analysis of the stack gas
b. Volumetric AFR
c. moles stack gas / mole fuel

4. A pure saturated hydrocarbon is burned with excess air. Orsat


analysis of the products of combustion shows 9.08% CO2, 1.63%
CO, 5.28% O2, and no free H2. Calculate:
a. The formula of the hydrocarbon
b. % excess air
c. kg dry air / kg of hydrocarbon

5. The burning of pure ethane with dry air gives a stack gas which
analyzes 9.92% CO2 on a dry basis. The stack gases leave at 745
mmHg. Assuming complete combustion, determine:
a. % excess
b. Complete analysis of the stack gas
