2. Propane (C3H8) gas is combusted with excess air in a catalytic reactor as shown in Figure 2. 200 mol/s of propane is combusted with air (Assume air contains 79 mol% N2 and 21 mol% O2.). The reactor has two output streams. Analysis of the dry product gas shows a composition of 9.57 mole% CO2, 6.38% O2, and N2. The diagram of the process is shown below. 200 mol/s C3H8 ni (mol/s diy product gas) no (molls air) n2 (mol/s H20) 100% H2O vapor Figure 2 Schematic diagram of combustion of propane gas a. Calculate no, n1, and n2 as showed in Figure above using atomic species balance. Solve the same problem using extent of reaction method. b.
