Question
1)For a mixture of ethane 60%, acetylene 20%, and benzene 20% total mass of 250 kg is loaded into a reactor obeying the Carnot cycle, we want to know which produces more work when reacted with 25% fuel, 60% O2, 15% CO2 for 30 cycles. Calculate the amount of each fuel in the mixture; perform mass balance to obtain the amount of fuel that is actually reacting in the mixture if the reaction runs with 40% efficiency.(Please give full detail, so I can give full points and rating)
2)Running only ETHANE on an ideal engine, the first process is performed at standard pressure and temperarute of 30
Explanation / Answer
1) Steady State Process:1000 kg/hr x 0.50 = 500 kg/hr
Material balance of benzene mixture: 450 kg + q1 = 500 kg q1 = 50 kg ; Q1 = 50 kg/hr
Material balance of toluene mixture:
475 kg + q2 = 500 kg q2 = 25 kg ; Q2 = 25 kg/hr
