A mixture of fuel containing 0.500 mol CH_4/moI, 0.310 mol C_3H_8/moI, and 0.190

Question

A mixture of fuel containing 0.500 mol CH_4/moI, 0.310 mol C_3H_8/moI, and 0.190 mol C_5H_12/moI at 52.0 degree C and 121 kPa (gauge) enters a furnace at a rate of 81.0 L/min where it reacts with 13.8% excess air. Determine the volumetric flow rate of air to the furnace in SCFM (standard cubic feet per minute) by following the steps below. Assume that the gases behave ideally. What is the molar flow rate of fuel entering the furnace? What is the molar flow rate of CH_4 entering the furnace? What is the molar flow rate of C_3H_8 entering the furnace? What is the molar flow rate of C_5H_12 entering the furnace? What is the molar flow rate of the theoretical air required for the complete combustion of the fuel? What is the actual molar flow rate of air added to the furnace? What is the volumetric flow rate of air added to the furnace in standard cubic feet per minute?
