Jake is a chemical engineer facilitating the furnace of a certain power plant industry. This furnace burns a blast furnace gas consisting of 30% CO, 25% H2, 12% CO2,15% CH4, 8% O2 and 10% N2? charged at 25 degrees Celsius, 740 mmHg. At the end of his shift, he noticed that the ORSAT apparatus used to check the stack gas analysis is broken and it would take a while to fix it. Assume that the air is supplied 50% in excess. What is the stack gas analysis. The m3 of air supplied per m3 fuel is required, what would be the value? Assume air enters at 25 degrees Celsius, 740 mmHg, 90%RH. The mg of stack gas per m3 fuel is also required, what would be the value? Stack gas leaves at 450 degrees Celsius and 740 mmHg.

Question

Jake is a chemical engineer facilitating the furnace of a certain power plant industry. This furnace burns a blast furnace gas consisting of 30% CO, 25% H2, 12% CO2,15% CH4, 8% O2 and 10% N2? charged at 25 degrees Celsius, 740 mmHg. At the end of his shift, he noticed that the ORSAT apparatus used to check the stack gas analysis is broken and it would take a while to fix it. Assume that the air is supplied 50% in excess.

  1. What is the stack gas analysis.
  2. The m3 of air supplied per m3 fuel is required, what would be the value? Assume air enters at 25 degrees Celsius, 740 mmHg, 90%RH.
  3. The mg of stack gas per m3 fuel is also required, what would be the value? Stack gas leaves at 450 degrees Celsius and 740 mmHg.
