Chapter 8, Problem 8.27P

A fuel gas containing 95 mole% methane and the balance ethane is burned completely with 25% excess air. The stack gas leaves the furnace at 900°C and is cooled to 450°C in a waste-heat boiler, a heat exchanger in which heat lost by cooling gases is used to produce steam from liquid water for heating, power generation, or process applications.

  1. Taking as a basis of calculation 100 mol of the fuel gas fed to the furnace, calculate the amount of heat (kJ) that must be transferred from the gas in the waste heat boiler to accomplish the indicated cooling.

  • How much saturated steam at 50 bar can be produced from boiler feedwater at 40°C for the same basis of calculation? (Assume all the heat transferred from the gas goes into the steam production.)
  • At what rate (kmol/s) must fuel gas be burned to produce 1280 kg steam per hour (an amount required elsewhere in the plant) in the waste heat boiler? What is the volumetric flow rate (m3/s) of the gas leaving the boiler?
  • Briefly explain how the waste-heat boiler contributes to the plant profitability. (Think about what would be required in its absence.)
  • Blurred answer

    The n-butane is converted into isobutane in an isomerization reactor, which operates isothermally at 149°C. Suppose that the reactor is fed with a mixture containing 93% mole of n-butane, 5% isobutane and 2% HCl at 149°C and that a 40% conversion of n-butane is achieved. How much heat in KJ/m3 (STP) of the feed, should be supplied or extracted from the reactor?
    In a steam boiler, hot gases from a fire transfer heat to water which vapourizes at constant temperature.In certain case, the gases are cooled from 1100°C to 550°C while the water evaporates at 220°C. Thespecific heat of gases is 1.005 kJ/kg K, and the latent heat of water at 220°C is 1858.5 kJ/kg. All the heattransferred from the gases goes to the water. How much does the total entropy of the combined system ofgas and water increase as a result of irreversible heat transfer ? Obtain the result on the basis of 1 kg ofwater evaporated. If the temperature of the surroundings is 30°C find the increase in unavailable energydue to irreversible heat transfer.
    0.1 g of a sample of coal was used in a bomb calorimeter for the determination of calorific value. The ash formed was extracted with acid and the acid extract was heated with BaCl2 solution and a precipitate of BaSO4 was obtained. The precipitate was filtered, dried and weighed. The weight of precipitate was found to be 0.01 g. Calculate the percentage of sulfur in the coal sample.
