Question: A - A propane ( C 3 H 8 ) burner releases gas at such a high rate that only half of it is combusted.

A- A propane (C3H8) burner releases gas at such a high rate that only half of it is combusted. Making the (relatively unreasonable) assumption that no CO is produced and that all of the hydrocarbons become CO2 and H2O.
Calculate:
1- The equivalence ratio
2- The fuel mixture fraction.
3- The CO2 yield also briefly discusses the result if CO is produced.
B- The propane burner mentioned in question (a) above is situated in a small combustion chamber with limited ventilation. The burner releases propane at a rate of 1.35 g/s and the measured air flow through the ventilation opening is 50 g/s. Assuming that all this air is used for combustion, calculate the equivalence ratio and the fuel mixture fraction.
