A four-components gas mixture comprising of 44.7 kPa methane (CH4), 57 kPa ethane (C2He), 60.3 kPa propane (CaHs), and 39.7 kPa n-butane (CaH10) flows in a brass pipe. By considering a pipe section as the control volume, it is found that the iniet and outlet temperatures are 107°C and 138°C. For the pipe section, an electric-powered (7motor = 76.4%) fan (voltage = 240 V, ampere = 10.5 A) and an electrical (nmotor = 100%) heater (resistance = 22.15 0, ampere = 12.5 A) are installed to ensure good mixing and provide heating, separately. On a summer day, the non-adiabatic pipe that installed outside the production plant is gaining heat from ambient at a rate of 26 kW. As the pipe section is uniform and has no sharp edge, there is no pressure drop as the fluid flows through it. Given respective molar mass of CH4, C2H6, C3H8, and CaH10 is 16.04 g/mol, 30.07 g/mol, 44.1 g/mol, and 58.12 g/mol. Take R, as 8.314 kJ/kmol-K.
