1. Methane (CH4) is burned with stoichiometric amount

of air during a combustion process. Assuming
complete combustion, determine the air-fuel and fuelair ratios.
2. Propane (C3H8) is burned with 75 percent excess air
during a combustion process. Assuming complete
combustion, determine the air-fuel ratio.
3. Acetylene (C2H2) is burned with stoichiometric amount
of air during a combustion process. Assuming
complete combustion, determine the air-fuel ratio on a
molar basis.
4. Propylene (C3H6) is burned with 50 percent excess air
during a combustion process. Assuming a complete
combustion and a total pressure of 105 kPa, determine
a) the air-fuel ratio, b) the temperature at which the
water vapor in the products will start condensing.
5. Propal alcohol (C3H7OH) is burned with 50 percent
excess air. Write the balanced reaction equation for
complete combustion and determine the air-to-fuel
ratio.
6. Octane (C8H18) is burned with 250 percent theoretical
air, which enters the combustion and a total pressure
of 1 atm, determine a) the air-fuel ratio and b) the
dew-point temperature of the products.
7. Ethane (C2H6) enters a furnace and burns completely
with 130 percent theoretical air entering at 25C, 85
kPa, 50% relative humidity. Determine a) the balanced
reaction equation and b) the dew point temperature of
the combustion products in C at 85 kPa.
8. Butane (C4H10) burns with air, gibing products with
the next dry molar analysis 11.0% CO2, 1.0% CO, 3.5%
O2and 84.5% N2. Determine a) the percent theoretical
air, b) the dew point temperature of the combustion
products, in C and 1 bar.
