Question: Coal contains 7 4 . 2 % C , 5 . 1 % H , 6 . 7 % O ( dry basis, mass percent

Coal contains 74.2%C,5.1%H,6.7%O(dry basis, mass percent) plus ash and small percentages of N and S. This coal is fed into a gasifier along with oxygen and steam. The exiting product gas composition is measured on a mole basis to: 39.9%CO,30.8%H2,11.4%CO2, and 16.4%H2O plus small percentages of CH4,N2, and H2S. How many kilograms of coal are required to produce 100kmol of product gas? How much oxygen and steam are required?
(ans: 830.4kg of coal)
