Question: [ 2 5 ] Butane ( C 4 H 1 0 ) is burned completely ( 1 0 0 % conversion ) in a furnace.

[25] Butane (C4H10) is burned completely (100% conversion) in a furnace. Pure oxygen is supplied
in excess. An analysis of the stack gas shows the following molar composition: 24%CO2,6%CO,
37.5%H2O,32.5%O2.
(a)[15] Draw and label the flowchart with 100molh of stack gas as basis and the two chemical
reactions.
(b)[15] Write down the atomic balances on carbon and oxygen.
(c)[10] What is the feed butane molar flow rate?
(d)[10] What is the % excess oxygen supplied?
 [25] Butane (C4H10) is burned completely (100% conversion) in a furnace.
