Combustion of Ethane: Stack Gas Molar Composition
Ethane is burned with 50% excess air. The percentage conversion of ethane is 90%. Of the ethane burned, 25% reacts to form CO and the balance reacts to form carbon dioxide. Calculate the molar composition of the stack gas on a dry basis, and the mole ratio of water to dry stack gas.
The molar composition of a gas mixture is calculated.
