Question

A mixture of propane and butane is fed into a furnace where it is mixed with air. The furnace exhaust leaves the furnace at 337�C, 786.0 mmHg and contains only N2, O2, CO2, and H2O. The partial pressure of O2 in the exhaust is 10.38 mmHg and the partial pressure of CO2 in the exhaust is 88.03 mmHg.
1.What is the mole fraction of propane in the fuel stream?
2.What is the mole fraction of water in the exhaust stream?
3.What is the dew point temperature of the exhaust gas?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 3.29mol

2. 0.125molH2o/mol

3. 52.5'C

Explanation: The step by step explanation are attached to the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mole fraction of propane = 0.74 mol C₃H₈/mol

Mole fraction of water = 0.29 mol H₂0 /mol

Dew point temperature = 52.5°C
