Liquid propane (C3H8) enters a steady-flow combustion

Chapter 15, Problem 85P

(choose chapter or problem)

Liquid propane \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{8}\right)\) enters a steady-flow combustion chamber at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(1 \mathrm{~atm}\) at a rate of \(0.4 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{min}\) where it is mixed and burned with 150 percent excess air that enters the combustion chamber at \(12^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). If the combustion products leave at \(1200 \mathrm{~K}\) and \(1 \mathrm{~atm}\), determine (a) the mass flow rate of air, (b) the rate of heat transfer from the combustion chamber, and (c) the rate of entropy generation during this process. Assume \(T_{0}=25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
