Question: Methane ( CH 4 ) is burned with 2 0 % excess air in the furnace of a steam power plant. The methane is supplied

Methane (CH4) is burned with 20% excess air in the furnace of a steam power plant. The
methane is supplied at 1 atm, 25\deg C, and the air is preheated to 177\deg C. The products of complete
combustion leave the stack at 150\deg C. Assuming negligible energy losses to the surroundings,
determine the energy transferred to the steam per kmol of methane in the form of heat transfer.
{814 MJ/kmol CH4}
