    This document outlines two homework problems: (1) Model the combustion of carbon monoxide with moist air in a constant volume adiabatic reactor. Determine the influence of varying the initial moles of water vapor from 1-3%. (2) Model combustion in a tube furnace with given specifications. Determine the length of the furnace and NO mole fraction at the exit, considering forward and reverse Zeldovich kinetics.

    ME 525: Spring 2023 Homework 4

    Date Assigned: 24 February 2023 Date Due: 10 March 2023

    (1) Study the model for a constant volume adiabatic reactor developed in class lecture 16 and
    apply it to the combustion of carbon monoxide 𝐶𝑂)with moist air 𝑂 + 3.76𝑁 +
    𝑁 𝐻 𝑂 at an initial temperature of 1000 K and an initial pressure of 1 atm and an initial
    equivalence ratio of 0.25 in a constant volume adiabatic reactor without any mode of work
    transfer. Assume:
    (i) constant with respect to temperature but variable with respect to composition specific
    heats evaluated at 2000 K;
    (ii) the following global mechanism of Glassman and Dryer applies:
    1 ,
    𝐶𝑂 + 𝑂 𝐶𝑂
    2
    Where the forward and reverse reaction rates are expressed as:
    𝑑 𝐶𝑂
    = −𝑘 𝐶𝑂 𝐻 𝑂 𝑜

    𝑑 𝐶𝑂
    = −𝑘 𝐶𝑂

    𝑅𝑢 𝑘𝑚𝑜𝑙 𝐾) 𝑇 𝐾)
    (1A) Write out all the necessary equations to describe your model, explicitly expressing them in
    terms of: the molar concentrations: 𝐶𝑂 , 𝑂 , 𝐶𝑂 , 𝐻 𝑂 , 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑁 , individual values of
    constant pressure specific heats: 𝑐̅ , , 𝑐̅ , , 𝑐̅ , , 𝑐̅ , , 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐̅ , , Note that 𝐻 𝑂 is a catalyst
    and its initial mass is conserved (but its’ enthalpy, mole fraction, partial pressure may change) in
    the constant volume reactor.
    (1B) Determine the influence of varying the initial moles of water vapor (𝑁 )from values
    corresponding to mole fractions of 1% to 3%.
    (2) Consider a tube furnace with a diameter of 0.30 m, as shown on text book page 218. A natural
    gas flowing at a rate of 0.0147 kg/s (considered to be methane) – air mixture at an equivalence
    ratio of 0.9 is burned in a rapid mixing burner leading to a hot gas mixture temperature of 2350 K
    at the inlet of the furnace, and heat is transferred from the hot products to the wall with a constant
    wall temperature of 600 K), leading to a hot gas mixture exit temperature of 1700 K. Assume that
    the combustion process at the burner does not form any nitic oxide 𝑁𝑂 but the post flame gases
    do. Further assume that the additional constraints and simplifications regarding the pressure, flow,
    wall heat transfer and chemical kinetics given in the text book on page 218 apply.
    (2A) Find the length of the furnace.
    (2B) Find the NO mole fraction at the exit considering the forward and the reverse Zeldovich
    kinetics.
