Consider 1 kg (dry basis) of torrefied biomass (consider bone dry)  (C = 56.70%, H = 5.49%, O = 36.28%, S = 0.09%, N = 0.74%, and ash = 0.98% [dry wt. basis]) is burned with 25% excess air. Determine the mass amount of combustion gas (total) and the mole & mass fractions of the constituents in the combustion gas (i.e., carbon dioxide, water, SO2, NO2, nitrogen, and oxygen). Assume that all the S and N in the fuel are converted to SO2 and NO2

Question

Consider 1 kg (dry basis) of torrefied biomass (consider bone dry)  (C = 56.70%, H = 5.49%, O = 36.28%, S = 0.09%, N =
0.74%, and ash = 0.98% [dry wt. basis]) is burned with 25% excess air. Determine the mass amount
of combustion gas (total) and the mole & mass fractions of the constituents in the combustion gas
(i.e., carbon dioxide, water, SO2, NO2, nitrogen, and oxygen). Assume that all the S and N in the fuel
are converted to SO2 and NO2
