Feed is charged into a system. The system works on the feed until
processing is complete. Products are then removed.
System is closed, with no material transfer across system boundaries
except during charging and product removal.
Examples are:
Cooking
Brewing
Specialty chemicals

Fuels for motor vehicles other than gasoline are being evaluated
because they generate lower levels of pollutants than does gasoline.
Compressed propane has been suggested as a source of power for
vehicles. Suppose that in a test 20 kg of C3H8 is burned with 400 kg of
air to produce 44 kg of CO2 and 12 kg of CO. What was the percent
excess air?

Moisture in the fuel was 3.90%, and the air on the average contained
0.0048 lb H2O/lb of dry air. The refuse showed 14.0% unburned coal,
with the remainder being ash.
You are asked to check the consistency of the data before they are
stored in a data base. Is the consistency satisfactory? What was the
average percent excess air used?
