Fuel Combustion and CO2 Sequestration [2016 Midterm Problem] Long-term storage of carbon dioxide in underground aquifers or old
oil fields is one method to prevent release of CO2 to the atmosphere (to help mitigate climate change). This is referred to as carbon sequestration. A power plant burns fuel oil containing 39.0 mol% C, 60.3 mol% H, and 0.70 mol% S at a rate of 290 kmol/hr. An air stream flowing at 945 kmol/hr provides oxygen for the combustion process. Conversion of the fuel is 95%. Of the C that burns, 90% goes to CO2. The gases are then separated and the carbon dioxide is sequestered underground. Assume 100% separation of the CO2 from the other gases. (a) Draw a flowchart (reactor and separation unit) and label all streams. Incorporate all of the information given above (b) Calculate the percent excess air fed. (c) Determine the molar flowrate of the O2 in the stack gas leaving the plant (d) What is the mass flowrate of CO2 into the underground aquifer?

Answer:
The tube surface temperature immediately after installation is 120.4°C and after prolonged service is 110.8°C
Explanation:
The properties of water at 100°C and 1 atm are:
pL = 957.9 kg/m³
pV = 0.596 kg/m³
ΔHL = 2257 kJ/kg
CpL = 4.217 kJ/kg K
uL = 279x10⁻⁶Ns/m²
KL = 0.68 W/m K
σ = 58.9x10³N/m
When the water boils on the surface its heat flux is:
For copper-water, the properties are:
Cfg = 0.0128
The heat flux is:
qn = 0.9 * 18703.42 = 16833.078 W/m²
The tube surface temperature immediately after installation is:
Tinst = 100 + 20.4 = 120.4°C
For rough surfaces, Cfg = 0.0068. Using the same equation:
ΔT = 10.8°C
The tube surface temperature after prolonged service is:
Tprolo = 100 + 10.8 = 110.8°C
