In a furnace, gaseous octane (C8H18) is burned. The octane flowrate is 0.33 m3/min at 115 kPa and 25◦C. Excess air is 12%. Theoctane conversion is 84% and the output 100%. After combustion,the gases are cooled to 25◦C in a condenser. The total pressure is101.3 kPa throughout the process. Reminder: Dry air is composed of21.0% mol of O2 and 79.0% mol of N2.
1. Write and balance the combustion equation.
2. Calculate the molar flow rate of dry air at the inlet knowingthat the molar fraction of O2 is 21%.
3. Calculate the molar flow of each gas present at the outlet ofthe furnace.
4. Calculate the dew point in the combustion chamber?
5. Determine the amount of water that has condensed after thecondenser.
6. Calculate the power of the furnace at 25◦C knowing that thestandard enthalpy of octane formation at 25◦C is -241.5 kJ/mol.
