Question: A space heating unit in Alaska uses propane combustion is the heat supply. Liquid propane comes from an outside tank at -44C and the air

A space heating unit in Alaska uses propane combustion is the heat supply. Liquid propane comes from an outside tank at -44°C and the air supply is also taken in from the outside at -44°C. The airflow regulator is misadjusted, such that only 90% of the theoretical air enters the combustion chamber resulting in incomplete combustion. The products exit at 1000 K as a chemical equilibrium gas mixture including only CO2, CO, H2O, H2, and N2. Find the composition of the products. Hint: use the water gas reaction in Example 15.4.
