Worksheet Four
Instructions: Attempt all questions.
1. A fuel mixture of 60 percent by mass methane (CH4) and 40 percent by mass ethanol
(C2H6O) is burned completely with theoretical air. If the total flow rate of the fuel is 10
kg/s, determine the required flow rate of air.
2. A coal from Utah which has an ultimate analysis (by mass) of 61.40 percent C, 5.79 percent
H2, 25.31 percent O2, 1.09 percent N2, 1.41 percent S, and 5.00 percent ash
(noncombustible) is burned with the stoichiometric amount of air, but the combustion is
incomplete, with 5 percent of the carbon in the fuel forming carbon monoxide. Determine
the mass fraction, the apparent molecular weight of the products, the mass of air required
per unit mass of fuel burned and the dew point of the products.
3. Calculate the HHV and LHV of gaseous n-octane fuel (C8H18). Compare your results with
the values in Table A–27.
4. CH4 at 25°C is burned in a well-insulated steady flow combustion chamber with air that is
also at 25°C. Under what conditions will the adiabatic flame temperature of the
combustion process be a maximum?
5. Consider a complete combustion process during which both the reactants and the
products are maintained at the same state. Combustion is achieved with (a) 100 percent
theoretical air, (b) 200 percent theoretical air, and (c) the chemically correct amount of
pure oxygen. In which case will the amount of heat transfer be the highest? Explain.
