Determining Mixture CompositionA gas mixture with a molar

Chapter 12, Problem 10P

(choose chapter or problem)

A gas mixture with a molar analysis of 20% \(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{8}\) (propane) and 80% air enters a control volume operating at steady state at location 1 with a mass flow rate of 5 kg/min, as shown in Fig. P12.10. Air enters as a separate stream at 2 and dilutes the mixture. A single stream exits with a mole fraction of propane of 3%. Assuming air has a molar analysis of 21% \(\mathbf{O}_{2}\) and 79% \(\mathbf{N}_{2}\), determine

(a) the molar flow rate of the entering air at 2, in kmol/min.

(b) the mass flow rate of oxygen in the exiting stream, in kg/min.
