Question
A fuel gas of 73 mol% ethane and the balance propane is burned continuously with 69% excess air to provide energy to a boiler to generate steam. In the combustion process, 86% of the ethane and 75% of the propane are burned. If 22 mol/s of the fuel gas are fed to the combustion chamber at 1 atm and 25
C, the product gases emerge at these same conditions, what is the maximum rate of heat supply to the boiler (positive quantity) in MW (1 MW = 1 megawatt = 106 W)? Assume the H2O produced in the combustion process leaves as liquid water and the rest of the components are in the gas/vapor phase. Show all work, cite all sources, state all assumptions. Report answer in MW with 3 digits of precision in decimal format.

It is desired to determine whether an existing 1-2 pass exchanger having an area of 15 m² would be suitable. Water is available at 30°C and must not be heated to above 38°C. An overall heat transfer coefficient (including the dirt factor) of 400 kcal/h m² °C can be attained in the exchanger. Water flows through the shell and the oil through the tubes. How will the heat transfer rate and the exit oil temperature be affected if the water flow rate is increased by 20%? The overall heat transfer coefficient U is assumed to remain unchanged.arrow_forwardprovide step by step solution. Show every step. Assume the reader is learning from youarrow_forward
