CHNAT2 marksNeeds review
Methane combusts with air in a furnace as
. The heat of reaction
kJ per mol
and is assumed to be constant. The furnace is well insulated and no other side reactions occur. All components behave as ideal gases with a constant molar heat capacity of 44 J mol
°C
. Air may be considered as 20 mol%
and 80 mol%
. The air-fuel mixture enters the furnace at 50 °C. The methane conversion
varies with the air-to-methane mole ratio,
, as
where
is the stoichiometric air-to-methane mole ratio. For
, the exit gas temperature in °C, rounded off to 1 decimal place, is _____Log in to check the answer
