Question: Ethane is burned with 5 0 % excess air. The percentage conversion of the ethane is 9 0 % ; of the ethane burned, 2

Ethane is burned with 50% excess air. The percentage conversion of the ethane is 90%; of the ethane burned, 25% reacts to form CO and the balance reacts to form CO2. Calculate the molar composition of the stack gas on a dry basis and the mole ratio of water to dry stack gas.
You are requested as a process engineer to perform the analysis on both dry and wet basis of the product stream generated from the combustion unit of your plant. Butane (C4H10) is burnt in the combustion chamber at a rate of 250 mole/hr with 150% excess air. 80mol% of the feed goes to complete combustion while 15mol % goes to incomplete combustion and the balance remains unburnt.
 Ethane is burned with 50% excess air. The percentage conversion of
