Document Summary

Most of the fuels contain carbon and hydrogen and are in solid, liquid or in gaseous form: solid fuels (coal): consists of moisture, volatile matter, fixed carbon and ash. The analysis specifies on a mass basis, the relative amounts of these constituents. The ultimate analysis may be given on the dry basis: liquid fuels: most liquid examples fuels are mixtures of many different hydrocarbons. Commonly a liquid single hydrocarbon with an empirical formula. Cxhy even though it is a mixture of several hydro carbons. treated as a fuel is: gaseous fuels: natural gas (mainly. Methane), coal gas (a mixture of methane and hydrogen) etc. In most of the combustion processes the required oxygen is not supplied as pure. Air contains 21 mol percent o2 and 79 mol percent of n2. The minimum amount of air which supplies the required amount of oxygen for complete combustion of the is stoichiometric or theoretical air.

A local utility burns coal that is determined to have a composition (by mass) of 83.05% C, 4.45% H, 3.36% O, 1.08% N, 0.70% S, with the remainder non-combustible ash. This composition is on a dry basis (assuming pure, dry coal), but in reality, the fuel has 3.1 lbm of moisture (water) for every 100 lbm of coal. The coal is burned in air. Dry air may be assumed to be 79 mol% N2 and 21 mol% O2, but this air also contains 0.0048 lbm moisture per lbm of dry air (0.0077 lbmol H2O per lbmol dry air). The stack gas from this combustion is measured to be 80.6 mol% N2, 4.0 mol% O2, with the remainder a mixture of CO2 and SO2. The remaining solids are 14 wt% unburned coal (you may assume it is the same mixture of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur in the original coal) and the balance ash. [Hint: There are six independent balances – some mass, some atomic – that can be used to analyze this process. Resolve each balance starting with the least complicated and working up to the most complicated – save the most complicated balance, the atomic oxygen balance, as your “check” at the end]. (a) Compute the closure of the oxygen balance. [See Section 4.9 in F&R.] (b) Come up with two reasons why the results as reported may be incorrect or imperfect.
