Engineers Mike and Sue alternate working the day and night shifts operating a combustion reactor

from the air$-$conditioned control room where the temperature is a comfortable $68\mathrm{.}5F.$ Butanol

$\{$:${?}_{9}OH)$ and dry air enter the continuous steady$-$state reactor as a single stream. The total inlet flow rate

to the reactor at $141C$ is $278mo\frac{l}{s}$ with $0\mathrm{.}0582$ mole fraction butanol, $0\mathrm{.}251$ mole fraction oxygen $(0$

${?}_2)$ and the balance nitrogen $(N_2).$ Both complete and partial combustion reactions occur, and the exit

stream contains butanol, oxygen, nitrogen, water $(\{$:$W,H_{2}O),$ carbon monoxide $($CO$),$ and carbon dioxide

$(C{O}_2).$ Based on the composition of the exit stream, the engineers have measured the conversion of

butanol to be $56\mathrm{.}9\%,$ the ratio of $C{O}_2$:$CO$ to be $7\mathrm{.}25$:$1\mathrm{.}00,$ and the temperature of the exiting stream to

be $314C.$ Assume all components are in the gas phase and no phase changes occur in the reactor.

Determine some unknown component molar flow rates.
