Reconsider Prob. 16-25. Using EES (or other) software, study the effect of varying the percent excess air during the steady-flow process from 0 to 200 percent on the temperature at which 97 percent of CO burns into CO2. Plot the temperature against the percent excess air, and discuss the results.
Prob. 16-25
Carbon monoxide is burned with 100 percent excess air during a steady-flow process at a pressure of 1 atm. At what temperature will 97 percent of CO burn to CO2? Assume the equilibrium mixture consists of CO2, CO, O2, and N2.
