A natural gas stream having the following molar composition: table [ [ Substance , Mole % , Substance,Mole % ] , [ C 4

A natural gas stream having the following molar composition:
\table[[Substance,Mole%,Substance,Mole %],[C4H10,11,C2H4,6],[C3H8,14,CH4,56],[C2H6,9,N2,4]]
is burnt with air in the reformer of a DRI plant at the rate of 520m3h-1 measured at 3.5atm and 27C. Fifteen per cent (15%) excess air is used in the reformer and the resulting flue gas has a CO2 to CO ratio of 20 to 1. If the air enters at 1atm and 27C, calculate
(i) the flow rate of inlet air in m3h-1..
(10 Marks)
(ii) the Orsat (i.e. on a dry basis) analysis of the flue gas.
(15 Marks)
Assume air consists of 79mole% nitrogen and 21 mole% oxygen. Also assume that there is no hydrocarbon in the flue gas and consider CAREFULLY the species which will make up the flue gas.
