Methanol vapor is burned with excess air in a catalytic combustion chamber. Liquid methanol initially at 25°C is vaporized at 1.1 atm and heated to 100°C; the vapor is mixed with air that has been preheated to 100°C, and the combined stream is fed to the reactor at 100°C and 1 atm. The reactor effluent emerges at 300°C and 1 atm. Analysis of the product gas yields a dry-basis composition of 4.8% C0. 14.3% O2 and 80.9% N2.

(a) Calculate the percentage excess air supplied and the dew point of the product gas.

(b) Taking a basis of 1 g-mole of methanol burned, calculate the heat (kJ) needed to vaporize and heat the methanol feed, and the heat (kJ) that must be transferred from the reactor.
