A fuel oil is analyzed and found to contain 83.86 wt% carbon, 13.82% elemental hydrogen (H), 1.57% sulfur, and the remainder noncombustible matter. The oil is burned with 7.5% excess air, based on complete combustion of the carbon to CO2, the hydrogen to H2O, and the sulfur to SO2. The oil is burned completely, but 8.00% of the carbon forms CO. Calculate the molar composition of the stack gas. You may take the composition of air to be 79.0 mole% N2 and 21.0 mole% O2. yN2 = yO2 = yH2O = yCO = yCO2 = ySO2 =

A fuel oil is analyzed and found to contain 83.86 w t % carbon, 13.82 % elemental hydrogen ( H ) , 1.57 % sulfur, and the remainder noncombustible matter. The oil is burned with 7.5 % excess air, based on complete combustion of the carbon to C O 2 , the hydrogen to H 2 O , and the sulfur to S O 2 . The oil is burned completely, but 8.00 % of the carbon forms CO. Calculate the molar composition of the stack gas. You may take the composition of air to be 79.0 mole % N 2 and 21.0 mole % O 2 .
y N 2 = i y O 2 = i y H 2 O = i y C O = i y C O 2 = i y S O 2 = i
