A vessel cortaining a fuel-gas mixture at ambient temperature
and pressure had some air keaking into it. A sample of the con-
tents showec the following composition by vodume: CH4 : 25J ia,
C2H2:5.0%,H2:10.0%,CO:70%,O2:11.1%, and N2:41.9%.
Determine
a. Whether the original fuel contained some nitrogen or not know-
Ing that no oxygen was originally present in the fuel
b. The volumetric composition of the original fuel
c. The fuel to air mass ratio as analyzed
d. The rich flammability limit of the fuel
e. 'The relative additional mass of air that needs to leak into the ves-
sel to make the contents just flammable
You may assume that Le Chatelier's mixing rule applies, and
the values of the rich flammability limits on volume basis at atmo-
spheric temperature and pressure are the following: CH4:15%,H2 :
75%,C2H4:15.0%, and CO .74%.(Answer: 4.44)
