Combustion of solid wastes produces a flue gas of the following analysis: CO2 =
15.0%, CO = 2.00%, O2 = 7.00% and remaining N2. Find the difference in
enthalpies for this gas between the bottom and top of the stack if the temperature of
the gas at the bottom is 800 K and that at the top is 450 K. The heat capacities of
the gas are:
7(a) 4 AP
CO2 : Cp = 26.540 + 42.454 x 10-3 T - 14.298 x 10-6 T2
CO : Cp = 26.586 + 7.582 x 10-3 T - 1.12 x 10-6 T2
O2 :Cp = 25.74 + 12.987 x 10-3 T - 3.864 x 10-6 T2
N2 : Cp = 27.03 + 5.815 x 10-3 T - 0.289 x 10-6 T2
Cp is in kJ/kmol K and T is in K.

Carbon monoxide reacts with Water vapour to form Carbon dioxide and Hydrogen.
The heat of formation at 298K is -41.19 kJ. 80 % of CO is converted in the
reaction. The products leave the reaction chamber at 700 K. The mean heat
(b) 4 AP
capacities in J/mol K are 30.5 for CO, 45.64 for CO2, 36.00 for water and 29.3 for
hydrogen. Determine the quantity of heat to be added or removed in the reaction
chamber for 1000 kg of Hydrogen produced.

A gas containing 80% Ethane and 20% Oxygen is burned with 200% Excess air.
8(a) 80% of Ethane goes to CO2 and 10% goes to CO and the rest remains unburnt. 5 AP
Calculate the dry exhaust gas analysis.
 (or)
