Question: 8 9 . 6 0 % C 2 H 4 , 6 . 7 2 % N 2 , and 3 . 6 8 %

89.60%C2H4,6.72%N2, and 3.68%CO2
a) Calculate the "calorific value" of the gas mixture.
the gas is burned, calculate the adiabatic flame temperature.
c) What will be the amount of excess air, in order to obtain 2000K adiabatic flame
temperature?
d) If 125 liter of gas was used, what would be the flame temperature? Why? (Do not calculate;
answer in the form of: would be higher, lower, the same, similar, be 1125 th,125 times
higher, much lower, much higher, etc)
e) If the amount of excess air is decreased from 34% to 17%, would you expect lower, higher or
the same flame temperate? Do not calculate, shortly answer and explain the reason. Plot a
schematic graph for excess air vs flame temperature change.
f) The efficiency of the furnace is 85%. If 1m3 of the gas mixture is burned, how many kg of
copper is smelted and tapped at 1450K?
g) The flue gas temperature is 450C. Calculate the amount of total energy released from the
system with the flue gas.
h) Calculate the releasing energy with 1m3 of the flue gas.
i) What are the advantages of high specific heat capacity of water? Briefly explain.
Be careful b and c terms are multiplied by 103 and 10-5, respectively.
e.g.CpCO2=44.1+9.0*10-3T-8.54*105T-2
Cu=63.5gmolHmetting,Cu=13100Jmol
