The ultimate analysis of a No.4 fuel oil is 86.47 wt%

Chapter 5, Problem 5.45

(choose chapter or problem)

The ultimate analysis of a No.4 fuel oil is 86.47 wt% carbon, 11.65% hydrogen, 1.35 % sulfur. and the balance noncombustible inerts. This oil is burned in a steam-generating furnace with 15 % excess air. The air is preheated to 175C and enters the furnace at a gauge pressure of 180 mm Hg. The sulfur and hydrogen in the fuel are completely oxidized to S02 and H20; 5% of the carbon is oxidized to CO, and the balance forms COz. (a) Calculate the feed ratio (m3 air)/(kg oil). (b) Calculate the mole fractions (dry basis) and the ppm (parts per million on a wet basis, or moles contained in 106 moles of the wet stack gas) of the stack gas species that might be considered environmental hazards
