process.
Energy Balance on a Gas Preheater
A stream containing 10% CH4 and 90% air by volume is to be heated from 20°C to 300°C. Calculate
the required rate of heat input in kilowatts if the flow rate of the gas is 2.00 x 10 liters (STP)/min.
Solution
Basis: Given Flow Rate
Assume ideal-gas behavior.

Recall that specifying the flow rate in liters (STP)/min_does not imply that the feed gas is at standard
temperature and pressure; it is simply an alternative way of giving the molar flow rate.

The energy balance with kinetic and potential energy changes and shaft workfomitted is O=AH. The
