Question: ( 3 5 p t ) Methane gas ( CH 4 ) enters a heat treatment furnace operating in steady state at 2 5 C

(35pt) Methane gas (CH4) enters a heat treatment furnace operating in steady state at 25C and 1atm
pressure and reacts with 140% theoretical air of the same temperature and pressure. Combustion
products come out at 1atm pressure and 427C temperature. Determine;
a)(8pt) The balanced reaction equation for 1kmol of CH4.
b)(7 pt) Air fuel ratio, at molar and mass base (Kmol-air/Kmol-Methane and kg-air/kg-methane)
c)(20pt) Heat transfer amount for this reaction, in kJkmol-CH4.
(30pt) Ethane (C2H6) enters a reactor shown in the figure at a temperature of 25C and a pressure of
100kPa; It burns completely with 100% of theoretical air at the same temperature and pressure.
Combustion products leaves the reactor at 627C, and 1066MJkmol-ethane heat transfer occurs from
the reactor to the environment at a surface temperature of 327C. Determine;
a)(5 pt) The balanced reaction
equation for 1kmol of C2H6.
b)(5 pt) Molar ratio of H2O at
combustion products.
c)(20pt) Entropy generation
for 1kmol of C2H6, in
kJkmol-ethane *K
a)(20 p) Describe Flame types by drawing and samples.
b)(20p) Explain ( NOx ) formation during the combustion reactions.
