Question: Natural gas ( mostly CHA and some HaS ) is burned in a furnace using excess dry air. The dry exhaust gas composition is CO

Natural gas (mostly CHA and some HaS) is burned in a furnace using excess dry air. The dry exhaust gas composition is CO2-11%V/V, O2-10%V/V, Na-76%v/v, SO2-3%v/v.The mole fraction of water in the wet exhaust is 0.05 c)Calculate in weight % and molar % the composition of:
(i)the wet exhaust
ii)the natural gas feed
(d)Calculate the percent excess air used.
(e)Based on feed of 500 kmol CHA h1 determine the molar rate of air used in
combustion.
f)One of the concerns is the amount of SO2 in the exhaust. To reduce it, half of the
exhaust is recycled back to the furnace. Comment on the rate and SO2 content of
the exhaust to the atmosphere.
(g)What modification of the process would you suggest as more appropriate than the onein (f)?
