Question: A 5 0 mu m diameter bituminous ( A ) char particle burns in product gas at 1 atm and 1 6 0 0

A 50\mu m diameter bituminous (A) char particle burns in product gas at
1 atm and 1600 K. As the particle burns to form carbon monoxide, the heat
release is 9200 kJ/gchar. The burning rate constant is 0.05 gO2
/(cm2 s atmO2). Calculate the steady state surface temperature of the particle for oxygen particle pressures of 0.06 atm, 0.13 atm, and 0.21 atm. Account for convection and radiation heat loss from the particle. Assume that the particle emissivity is 0.8, and use a Nusselt number of 2.
