QUESTION:
One kilogram of butane is burned with 25 kg of air that is at and . Assuming that the combustion is complete and the pressure of the products is , determine (a) the percentage of theoretical air used and (b) the dew-point temperature of the products.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 6
Butane is burned with air. The masses of butane and air are given. The percentage of theoretical air used and the dewpoint temperature of the products are to be determined.
Assumptions are
1. Combustion is complete.
2. The combustion products contain CO2, H2O, and N2 only.
3. Combustion gases are ideal gases.
The molar masses of , , and air are , , and , respectively (Table A-1).
