To supply heated air to a house, a high-efficiency gas furnace burns gaseous propane (C3H8) with a combustion efficiency of 96 percent. Both the fuel and 140 percent theoretical air are supplied to the combustion chamber at 25°C and 100 kPa, and the combustion is complete. Because this is a high-efficiency furnace, the product gases are cooled to 25°C and 100 kPa before leaving the furnace. To maintain the house at the desired temperature, a heat transfer rate of 31,650 kJ/h is required from the furnace. Determine the volume of water condensed from the product gases per day.
