. A mixture of methane and air is capable of being ignited only if the mole percent of methane is between 5% and 15%. A mixture

containing 9.0 mole% methane in air flowing at a rate of 7:00 102 kg/h is to be diluted with pure air to reduce the methane concentration to the lower flammability limit. Calculate the required flow rate of air in mol/h and the percent by mass of oxygen in the product gas. (Note: Air may be taken to consist of 21 mole% O2 and 79% N2 and to have an average molecular weight of 29.0.)

Answer:

A) Mass flow rate of air = 22.892 kmol/hr

B)percentage by mass of oxygen in the product gas = 22.52%

Explanation:

We are given that the mixture containing 9.0 mole% methane in air flowing.

Thus, we have 0.09 mole of methane(CH4) and the remaining will be the air which is (100% - 9%) = 91% = 0.91

Molar mass of CH4 = 12 + 1(4) = 16 g/mol

We are given the average molecular weight of air = 29 g/mol

Thus;

Average molar mass of air and methane mixture is;

M_avg = (0.09 × 16) + (0.91 × 29)

M_avg = 27.83 g/mol

We are told that air flowing at a rate of 7 × 10² kg/h = 700 kg/h

Thus;

Mass flow rate of CH4 in air mixture = 700kg/h × (0.09CH4)/1 mix × (1/27.83kg/kmol) = 2.264 kmol/hr

Mass flow rate of air in mixture = 2.264kmol/h × 0.91kmol air/0.09kmolCH4 = 22.892 kmol/hr

We are told that the mixture is capable of being ignited if the mole percent of methane is between 5% and 15%.

Thus, for 5% of methane, the air required will be;

2.264kmol/h × 0.95kmol air/0.05kmol CH4 = 43.016 kmol/hr

Now, the dilution air needed will be =

43.016 - 22.892 = 20.124 kmol/hr

Total mass flow rate of mixture =

700kg/hr + (20.124kmol/hr × 29kg/mol) = 1283.596 kg/hr

We are told that air consist of 21 mole% Oxygen (O2).

Molar mass of oxygen = 32

Thus;

Mass fraction of oxygen in the product gas = 43.016kmol/h × (0.21molO2/1mol air) × (32kg oxygen/1kmol oxygen) × (1/1283.596kg/h) = 0.2252

Thus, written in percentage form, we have; 22.52%

So, percentage by mass of oxygen in the product gas = 22.52%

What is the source of energy in nuclear power plants?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

<h2><em><u>URANIUM</u></em><em><u> </u></em></h2>

Explanation:

What is the source of energy in nuclear power plants?

<em><u>Uranium</u></em> is the fuel most widely used by nuclear plants for nuclear fission. <u>Uranium</u> is considered a nonrenewable energy source, even though it is a common metal found in rocks worldwide. Nuclear power plants use a certain kind of uranium, referred to as U-235, for fuel because its atoms are easily split apart.

Who is considered the founder of the periodic table of the elements?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Dmitry Mendeleev

Explanation:

Around 1869 a Russian scientist, Dmitry Mendeleev formed what is now known as the periodic table or chart. The Mendeleevian periodic table was based on the atomic weights of elements using the periodic law. The periodic law states that "chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights".

The modern periodic table was re-stated by Henry Moseley in the 1900s. He changed the basis of the periodic law to atomic masses.

Paliwanag ang kahalagahan ng papa at ng holy roman emperor sa panahong midieval.
Doss [256]

Explanation:

The Holy Roman Empire (Latin: Sacrum Imperium Romanum; German: Heiliges Römisches Reich), also termed as the First Reich, was a multi-ethnic complex of territories in Western and Central Europe that developed during the Early Middle Ages and continued until its dissolution in 1806 during the Napoleonic Wars.[6] The largest territory of the empire after 962 was the Kingdom of Germany, though it also included the neighboring Kingdom of Bohemia and Kingdom of Italy, plus numerous other territories, and soon after the Kingdom of Burgundy was added. However, while by the end of the 15th century the Empire was still in theory composed of three major blocks – Italy, Germany, and Burgundy – in practice only the Kingdom of Germany remained, with the Burgundian territories lost to France and the Italian territories, ignored in the Imperial Reform, although formally part of the Empire, were splintered into numerous de facto independent territorial entities.[7][8][9][10] The external borders of the Empire did not change noticeably from the Peace of Westphalia – which acknowledged the exclusion of Switzerland and the Northern Netherlands, and the French protectorate over Alsace – to the dissolution of the Empire. By then, it largely contained only German-speaking territories, plus the Kingdom of Bohemia, the southern Netherlands and lands of Carniola. At the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, most of the Holy Roman Empire was included in the German Confederation.
