Sample Problem Mod 4 CPC

The document contains 14 problems related to combustion and stoichiometry calculations. The problems involve determining flue gas compositions, volumes of flue gas components, and excess air from the combustion of various fuels including natural gas, ethane, toluene, and coke with specified amounts of excess air under different conditions. Pictures of example problems and exercises are also included from a textbook on stoichiometry and material and energy balance computations.

1. A synthesis gas analyzing 6.4% CO 2, 0.2% O2, 40.0% CO, and 50.

8% H2 (the balance is
N2) is burned with 40% dry excess air. What is the composition of the flue gas?
2. A gas with the following composition is burned with 50% excess air in a furnace. What is
the composition of the flue gas? CH4 60%, C2H6 20%, CO 5%, O2 5%, N2 10%
3. A furnace is fired with 1000 ft3/hr at 60°F and 1 atm of a natural gas having the following
volumetric analysis: CH4 80%, C2H6 16%, O2 2%, CO2 1%, and N2 1%. The exit flue gas
temperature is 800°F and the pressure is 760 mm Hg absolute; 15% excess air is used and
combustion is complete. Calculate (a) the volume of CO 2 produced per hour; (b) the
volume of H2O vapor produced per hour; (c) the volume of N 2 produced per hour; (d) the
total volume of flue gas produced per hour.
4. Ethane (C2H6) is burned with 20% excess air in a furnace operating at a pressure of 100
kPa. Assume complete combustion occurs. Determine the partial pressures of each
component of flue gas.
5. A furnace is fired with 1000 ft 3/hr at 60°F and 1 atm of a natural gas having the following
volumetric analysis: CH4 80%, C2H6 16%, O2 2%, CO2 1%, and N2 1%. The exit flue gas
temperature is 800°F and the pressure is 760 mm Hg absolute; 15% excess air is used and
combustion is complete. Calculate (a) the volume of CO 2 produced per hour; (b) the
volume of H2O vapor produced per hour; (c) the volume of N 2 produced per hour; (d) the
total volume of flue gas produced per hour.
6. Pure carbon is burned in oxygen. The flue gas analysis is CO 2 75 mol %, CO 14 mol %,
and O2 11 mol %. What was the percent excess oxygen used?
7. Toluene, C7H8, is burned with 30% excess air. A bad burner causes 15% of the carbon to
form soot (pure C) deposited on the walls of the furnace. What is the Orsat analysis of the
gases leaving the furnace?
8. Dry coke composed of 4% inert solids (ash), 90% carbon, and 6% hydrogen is burned in a
furnace with dry air. The solid refuse left after combustion contains 10% carbon and 90%
inert ash (and no hydrogen). The inert ash content does not enter into the reaction. The
Orsat analysis of the flue gas gives 13.9% CO 2, 0.8% CO, 4.3% O2, and 81.0% N2.
Calculate the percent of excess air based on complete combustion of the coke.
