 4.1) A gasifier is burning a wood-derived biochar (average formula C14H8O2

4.1) A gasifier is burning a wood-derived biochar (average formula C14H8O2 ) that has a HHV of 32MJ/kg. The fuel and air start at 25C, effluent gases leave the furnace at 450C and have a COCO2 ratio of 3.5:1. Entering air is fed at the stoichiometric ratio (N278%,O221%, Ar 1\%). How much heat is given off from the gasifier per kg of char fed? You may assume ideal gas heat capacities for all gasses
