    1. Methane, CH4 , is burned with dry air. The molar analysis of the products on a dry
    basis is CO2 , 9.7%; CO, 0.5%; O2 , 2.95%; and N2 , 86.85%. Determine (a) the air-fuel
    ratio on both a molar and a mass basis, (b) the percent theoretical air, (c) the dew
    point temperature of the products, if the products are cooled at 1 atm. [Moran Ex.
    13.2]

    2. A natural gas has the following molar analysis: CH4 , 80.62%; C2 H6 , 5.41%; C3 H8 , 1.87%;
    C4 H10 , 1.60%; N2 , 10.50%. The gas is burned with dry air, giving products having a molar
    analysis on a dry basis: CO2 , 7.8%; CO, 0.2%; O2 , 7%; N2 , 85%. (a) Determine the air-fuel
    ratio on a molar basis. (b) Determine the air-fuel ratio on a mass basis. (c) Determine the
    percent of theoretical air. [Moran Ex. 13.3]

    3. One kilomole of carbon monoxide, CO, reacts with 2 kmol of oxygen, O2 , to form an equilibrium
    mixture of CO2 , CO, and O2 at (a) 1500 K, 1 atm, (b) 3000 K, 10 atm. Determine the
    equilibrium composition in terms of mole fractions. [Moran Ex. 14.2]

    4. Carbon dioxide at 25o C, 1 atm enters a reactor operating at steady state and dissociates, giving
    an equilibrium mixture of CO2 , CO, and O2 that exits at 3200 K, 1 atm, Determine the heat
    transfer, in kJ per kmol of CO2 entering. [Moran Ex. 14.5]

    5. Liquid Butane (C4 H10 ) is sprayed into a combustion chamber. In addition, 400% theoretical
    air is supplied at an inlet temperature of 600 K. Gaseous products of combustion leave the
    chamber at 1100 K. If complete combustion is assumed, determine the heat transfer in kJ/kmol
    of fuel. [Wark Ex. 13.8]

    Determine adiabatic flame temperature assuming complete combustion. [Wark Ex. 13.9]

    7. Charcoal (wood char) is an easily made, high energy fuel that is lightweight and easy to trans-
    port. Assume that charcoal is composed of only C and consider the reaction of carbon with
    stoichiometric air to produce CO2 , CO, and O2 at 2200 K and 2 atm. What is the volume
    fraction of CO when the products are in equilibrium at 2200 K due to the dissociation of CO2 ?

    oxygen, 7.9; ash, 5.6; water, 13.5, in percent by mass. (a) Determine the reaction equation and
    air-fuel ratio used for complete combustion with 20% excess air. (b) If the products are cooled
    to 500 K, determine the heat transfer. (c) Estimate HHV and LHV of the coal sample. [Wark
