Problem 4.64

A gas contains 80.0 wt% propane, 15.0 wt% n-butane, and the balance water. (a) Calculate the molar composition of this gas on both a wet and a dry basis and the ratio (mol H20/mol dry gas). (b) If 100 kglh of this fuel is to be burned with 30% excess air, what is the required air feed rate (kmollh)? How would the answer change if the combustion were only 75% complete?
