Problem 3: To ensure complete combustion, 20 percent excess air is supplied to a
furnace burning natural gas. The gas composition (by volume) is methane 95 percent,
ethane 5 percent. Calculate the moles of air required per mole of fuel.
Solution :
(95%) CH4+ 2O2 CO2 + 2H2O
Theoretical required to burn =
= 190 mole O2
(5%) C2H6+ O2 2CO2 + 3H2O
Theoretical O2 required to burn C2H6 =
= 17.5 mole O2
3
Total theoretical O2 required = (190 +17.5) mole O2
= 207.5 mole O2
Theoretical air required =
= 987.5 mole air
(moles air)fed required = 1185.24

Problem 4: A coal with dry, ash-free composition of 0.87 C, 0.09 H2 , 0.02 S and 0.02 O2
is burned with 25% excess air. The as-fired ash and moisture contents are 6% and 4%,
respectively.
(a) What are the stoichiometric and actual air-fuel ratios?
(b) What are the flue gas composition ?
Solution : (a)
Basis: 100 kg coal
Therefore, Moisture= 100 4% = 4 Kg
Ash content = 100 6% = 6 Kg
Ash and moisture free coal = 100-(6+4) = 90 Kg
Amount of carbon = 90 0.87 = 78.3 Kg; C + O2 CO2
Amount of hydrogen = 90 0.03 = 8.1 Kg; 2H2+ O2 H2O
Amount of sulfur = 90 0.02 = 1.8 Kg; S+ O2 SO2
Amount of oxygen = 90 0.02 = 1.8 Kg;
6
Theoretically, O2 required for 100 Kg = (208.8 + 64.8 + 1.8 – 1.8) = 273.6 Kg
Theoretically, air required =
= 1190.16 Kg air
Stoichiometric air to fuel ratio = 1190.16 : 100
= 11.9 : 1
7
Actual air to fuel ratio = 1487.7 : 100
= 14.877 : 1
= 14.88 : 1

Solution : (b)
Coal CO2 (q1)
SO2(q2)
ash(q3) Flue gas
25% excess air H2O(q4)
(N2+O2) N2(q6)
O2(q5)
As information given, ash in flue gas, q3 = 100 6% = 6 Kg
For complete combustion, calculations:-
Form (a), amount of C = 78.3 Kg
CO2 in flue gas, q1 = 78.3 = 287.1 Kg
Form (a), amount of S = 1.8 Kg
SO2 in flue gas, q2 = 1.8 = 3.6 Kg
9
Form (a), amount of H = 8.1 Kg
H2O in flue gas, q4 = (8.1 ) + 4 Form (a), Moisture of coal 4 Kg
= 76.9 Kg
Form (a), air fed = 1487.7 Kg
N2 fed = N2 in flue gas, q6 =
=1376.53 Kg N2
From (a),
theoretical O2 required = 273.6 Kg O2
O2 fed =
= 342.17 Kg O2
O2 in flue gas, q5 = (342.17 – 273.6) Kg O2
= 68.57 Kg O2

Calculating composition of flue gas
Component Amount (Kg) in flue gas Composition in flue gas
CO2 287.1 0.158
SO2 3.6 0.002
ash 6 0.003
H2O 76.9 0.042
O2 68.57 0.038
N2 1376.53 0.757
Total = 1818.7
