QUESTION 1: A fuel/air mixture is being prepared for combustion by mixing the gaseous fuel with compressed air. The product mixture is then sent for combustion. The fuel mixture consists of 80mol%C2H8 with the balance C4H10. The air is supplied at a volumetric flowrate of 10m3min. At a pressure of 2atm and temperature of C. For 10molmin of fuel:
(a) Carryout a degree of freedom analysis assuming air is an ideal gas.
(b) Find the composition of the mixed stream.
Hint: When carrying out the DOF analysis consider air as a single component (since it is not changing in composition) and use the ideal gas law as an additional relationship when carrying out DOF analysis.
QUESTION 2: The gas mixture in Question 1 is now ignited using a burner. If there is excess oxygen, the combustion reaction proceeds to completion for both fuels as:
C2H8+5O23CO2+4H2O
C4H10+132O24CO2+5H2O
(a) Draw and label a diagram representing this and carryout a degree of freedom analysis.
(b) Using the molecular species balance, determine the gas flowrate and composition.
