Question

Liquid propane (C 3 H 8 ) enters a combustion chamber at 25 °C at a rate of 0.05

kg/min where it is mixed and burned with theoretical air that enters the

combustion chamber at 7 °C. an analysis of combustion gases reveals that all the

hydrogen in the fuel burns to H 2 O but only but only 90% of carbon burn to CO 2

with the remaining 10% forming Co if the exit temperature of combustion gases

is 1500 K (a) the mass flow rate of air and (b) the rate of heat transfer from the

combustion chamber
