course work? 1) A car tyre has a mass of 15 kg. Tyres can be disposed of using a process known as 2 points
pyrolysis. 31% by mass of a car tyre can be converted into carbon and 26% by mass can be
Week 1 converted into gas, which is predominantly methane. If 10,0000 tyres are treated in this way
each year in a city. What will be the volume of methane produced in this process at 600 oC?

Tutorial on 2) Pine needle is used to produce bio oil in a slow pyrolysis unit. The % of bio oil, char and 2 points
gasification
gas are 40 %, 45 % and 15 %. The average molecular formula of the bio char is determined as
(unit?
CH0.56O0.28N0.013 and for the bio oil it is CH1.47O0.36N0.005. The composition of gas is as follows:
