QUESTION 4: Combustion (25 Marks)
A sample of biogas from a renewable energy project is 80% methane (CH4) by mass, but has other element present, given by mass below:
\table[[,C,H,O,N,S,Ash,Moisture],[,(%),(%),(%),(%),(%),(%),(%)],[Fuel,??,??,6,5,4,3,2]]
The atomic masses are: C=12;H=1;O=16;N=14;S=32; take Air as 23% Oxygen and 77% Nitrogen by mass. For excess air (by mass) of 100% :
(i) Find the missing percentages for Carbon and Hydrogen given they are solely due to the methane (CH4).
(5 Marks)
(ii) Calculate the stoichiometric air for complete combustion. (Use sensible values for Carbon and hydrogen percentages if part (i) not answered.)
(10 Marks)
(ii) Calculate the percentages by mass of the dry exhaust products if 40% excess air is used.
