Question

Gaseous propane enters a combustion chamber at 25 and 1 atm and it is burned with 80%

Answer 1

Gaseous propane (C3H8) enters a combustion chamber at 25°C and 1 atm and it is burned with 80% theoretical air that enters the combustion chamber at 12°C and 1 atm. An equilibrium mixture of CO2, H2O, CO, H2, and N2 exits the combustor at 1200 K and 1 atm. (a) Calculate the equilibrium composition of the product gases. (b) Determine heat transfer for the combustion chamber, in kJ/kmol fuel.
