Question: Ethanol ( C 2 H 5 O H ) is fed to a furnace at a rate of 1 0 0 m o l h

Ethanol (C2H5OH) is fed to a furnace at a rate of 100molh and burned with excess air. The product gas is analyzed and the following dry-basis (i.e., excluding water) mole percentages are determined: C2H5OH=0.5%,CO2=10%,CO=1.5%.
a. Draw and label a flowchart of the process
b. Verify the system has zero degrees-of-freedom
c. Calculate the fractional conversion of ethanol, the percentage excess air fed, and the moles of water in the exhaust.
