Question: ( ( ( ( ( explain the moles part specifically by details ) ) ) ) ) ) ) Question 2 The combustion of ethane

(((((explain the moles part specifically by details )))))))Question 2 The combustion of ethane is given by: C2H6(g)+3.5O2(g)2CO2(g)+3H2O
(g), where the oxygen is provided by air injection at the reactor inlet. The reaction is carried out
with 40% excess of oxygen, and, in these conditions, the C2H6 conversion is 100%. Both ethane
and air enter the combustion chamber at 25C and atmospheric pressure. The product stream
leaves the reactor at 700C, also at atmospheric pressure. Consider the air composition to be
Feed consists of 1mole2H6,3.5*1.4=4.9mole2 and 7921*4.9=18.43 mole N2.
O2 and 18.43 mole N2.
79%N2 and 21%O2.
c. How much heat can be withdrawn from the reactor per mole of ethane combusted?
rH2980=i?vifH2980(N2 does not react )
rH2980=2*(-393509)+3*(-241818)-1*(-83820)-0=-1.429*106J
HP=(i?ni(:Cp,i:)H)*(T-T0)=(i?ni(:Cp,i:)H)*(973-298)
with: (:CP:)HR=A+B2T0(+1)+C3T02(2++1)+DT02,=TT0=3.26
and A=niAi=86.88,B=iBi=18.08*10-3,C=niCi=0 and
A=0*1.131+1.4*3.639+18.43*3.28+2*5.457+3*3.47=86.8
B=0*1.131+1.4*0.5*10-3+18.43*0.593*10-3+2*1.045*10-3+3*1.45*10-3=18.06*10-3
i?ni(:Cp,i:)H=8.314*(86.88+0.01882298*4.26)=821.5
HP=(i?ni(:Cp,i:)H)*(973-298)=821.5*675=554,510J
Q=HR+rH298o+HP=0-1.429*106+554,510=-874.5kJ5
