propane is combined with 50% excess air in a mixer before being fed to a furnace. The propane (C3H5) enter the mixer at 25 degrees celsius at a rate of 300Kg/h and the air enters the mixer at 500 degrees celsius. Heat is lost form the mixer to the surroundeings at a rate of 8.5KW. Given MW(propane= 4.4; Cp(Propane)=0.068032KJ/mol. degrees celsius; Cp(air) =0.0289KJ/mol degrees celsius. Use table 8 for calculation.
a. Calculate the molar flow of air that enters the mixer.

In an experiment, a 0.6629 g sample of phthalic acid ( C8H604) is burned completely in a bomb calorimeter. The calorimeter is surrounded by 1.046 x 10³ g of water. During the combustion the temperature increases from 24.04 to 26.63 °C. The heat capacity of water is 4.184 J-g¹. C-¹. The heat capacity of the calorimeter was determined in a previous experiment to be 788.9 J. ˚C-¹. Assuming that no energy is lost to the surroundings, calculate the molar heat of combustion of phthalic acid based on these data.
