Question: A gaseous mixture that is 3 5 % propane ( C 3 H 8 ) and 6 5 % methane ( CH 4 ) by

A gaseous mixture that is 35% propane (C3H8) and 65% methane (CH4) by volume is mixed with
25% excess air and burned in a steady-state constant pressure process at 100 kPa. Both the fuel and
the air enter the combustion chamber at 298K and undergo a complete combustion process. The
products leave the combustion chamber at 450K. If the mass flow rate of the air is 50 kg/hr, calculate
the rate of heat transfer for the process.
