Question
Into a combustion reactor, hexane at 55 mol and 25% excess dry air are fed. The fractional conversion of hexane is 85%. Assume that air is 21 mol% oxygen and 79 mol% nitrogen.
The governing equation for the combustion reaction is: 2 C6H14 + 19 O2 → 12 CO2 + 14 H2O
a. Draw a complete flowchart of the process. Clearly state any assumptions.
b. Perform a degree-of-freedom analysis (atomic species DOF).
c. What is the mole fraction of carbon dioxide in the flue gas on a dry basis?
