Methane (CH4) at 778F, 1 atm enters the combustor of a gas

Chapter 13, Problem 13.73

(choose chapter or problem)

Methane (\(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\)) at \(77^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\), 1 atm enters the combustor of a gas turbine power plant operating at steady state and burns completely with air entering at \(400^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\). Owing to metallurgical limitations, the temperature of the combustion products exiting the combustor to the turbine can be no higher than \(1600^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\). Determine the percent excess air that allows this constraint to be met. Neglect heat transfer from the combustor and kinetic and potential energy effects.
