Chapter 5, Problem 5.35(choose chapter or problem)
A gas turbine power plant receives a shipment of hydrocarbon fuel whose composition is uncertain but may be represented by the expression CxHy . The fuel is burned with excess air. An analysis of the product gas gives the following results on a moisture-free basis: 10.5 %(v/v) CO2 , 5.3% Oz, and 84.2% Nz. (a) Determine the molar ratio of hydrogen to carbon in the fuel (r), where r = y/ x, and the percentage excess air used in the combustion. '5Based on a problem in H. S. Fogler. Elements of Chemical ReactIOn Engineering, 2nd Edition, Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 1992, p. 323. 223 (b) What is the air-to-fuel ratio (m3 air/kg of fuel) if the air is fed to the power plant at 30C and 98 kPa?
