 13.4 First Law Analysis
Class example 1:
Propane is burned at 1.2 kg/min with 150% excess
air during a steady-flow combustion process.
a) Determine the mass flow rate of air and
b) the rate of heat transfer from the combustion
chamber.

 13.4 First Law Analysis
Class example 2:
Benzene gas is burned with 95% theoretical air
during a steady-flow combustion process.
a) Determine the mole fraction of the CO in the
products and
b) the heat transfer from the combustion chamber.
