Question:
Repeat exercise 19 for the combustion of coal. For simplicity assume coal is just carbon, C, with a HV of 32,800 kJ/kg.
Use engineering considerations to give insight on the global warming issue.
Exercise 19
A monomeric formula for wood cellulose is C6H12O6 (it repeats many times as a hexagonal structure based on this formula). The energy content by burning wood is approximately 1.0 × 104 J/kg. Determine the amount of carbon dioxide released in obtaining a kJ of energy by the combustion of wood in air. (A: 1.5 × 104 kg of CO2 released/kJ of energy produced)
