QUESTION:
Consider a complete combustion process during which the reactants enter the combustion chamber at 208C and the products leave at 7008C. Combustion is achieved with (a) 100 percent theoretical air, (b) 200 percent theoretical air, and (c) the chemically correct amount of pure oxygen. For which case will the amount of heat transfer be the lowest? Explain.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
The amount of heat transfer will be the lowest for case (b) which contains the maximum amount of nonreacting gases.
