An instrumental for the analysis of trace hydrocarbons in air, or in the products of combustion uses a flame ionization detector. The flame in this device is fueled by mixture of 40% (vol.) hydrogen and 60%(vol)helium. The fuel mixture is contrained in a 42.8-liter tank at 1500psig and 298K. The atmospheric pressure is 1000kPa. What is the partial pressure of each constituent in the tank and the total mass of the mixture. Assume Ideal gas behavior for the mixture.

You are designing an afterburner to treat 2 m³/s of air at 1.02 atm and 20 °C. The pollutant concentration in the air stream is 3 g/m³. The fuel to be added is methane at a volumetric treated air-to-fuel (AF) ratio of 80. Its heat of combustion is 50,100 kJ/kg (you can assume the same for the pollutant). The reaction chamber following the combustion zone is a cylinder. The design flow velocity is 5 m/s and the residence time for the gas stream is to be 1 s. Find (a) the average temperature of the gas leaving the combustion zone and entering the reaction zone in degrees K; (b) the diameter of the reaction chamber in m, and (c) the length of the reaction chamber in m. You can assume that the polluted air to be treated has the properties of air (so the specific heat is 1.1 kJ/kg-K; also use this for the specific heat of the methane, your added fuel).
