Question: 3 0 mol s - ' Propane ( C 3 Hs ) and air enter a furnace at a temperature of 2 5 deg

30 mol s-' Propane (C3Hs) and air enter a furnace at a temperature of 25\deg C. The air flow rate is sufficient to achieve complete combustion of the propane (i.e. air is supplied at the stoichiometric ratio). In answering this question, you can assume air is 79%(v/v) N2 and 21%(v/v) O2:
All of the products leave the furnace in the gas phase, temperature of 300\deg C
at
Perform the mass balance and determine the inlet and outlet flow rates of each component (in mol s-').
Using this information (or otherwise) determine how much steam @n Kg s1) can be produced -you can assume that no energy is needed to pre-heat the feedwater (i.e. only the enthalpy of vaporization needs to be considered), and that the steam is at a pressure of 20 bar
