Question: QUESTION 2 A gas mixture containing 6 0 % methane ( C H 4 ) and 4 0 % propane ( C 3 H 8

QUESTION 2
A gas mixture containing 60% methane (CH4) and 40% propane (C3H8) is burned in a furnace with 150% excess air. The percentage conversion of methane combustion is 95%, and 80% of the burned methane forms CO2, with the rest forming CO . Propane, when completely burned, forms only CO2.
