Question: Problem 2 . 4 ( a ) ( to be done in class ) A certain natural gas of composition: 9 0 mole % C

Problem 2.4(a)(to be done in class)
A certain natural gas of composition:
90 mole %CH4
5 mole %C2H6
5 mole %N2
is burned with air (79%N2 plus 21%O2 in stoichiometric amounts.
Assuming the fuel and air are fed to the combustion zone at 25C, calculat the adiabatic flame temperature (AFT).
Addenda to this problem....(to be attempted by the student after part a has been done in class. See the end of this section
for comments and answers).
Problem 2.4(b) If the same fuel is burned with only 80% of stoichiometric air (i.e.20% of the fuel is unburnt) recalculate the
composition of the products and the AFT.
Problem 2.4(c) Repeat the calculation for 120% of stoichiometric air (i.e.20% more air than that needed for stoichiometric
reaction; this does not mean that 20% of the original oxygen is left at the end).
Problem 2.4(d) Compare the AFT for the three cases (i.e.80,100 and 120%). What do you conclude?
Problem 2.4(e) Calculate the AFT if, in the original case, oxygen is used in place of air.
Just part (a) please!
