Let's break down the solution step by step: --- # **Step 1: Basis of Calculation** Let’s **assume 100 g of dry coke** as the basis. - Ash = 4 g - Carbon = 92 g - Hydrogen = 4 g --- # **Step 2: Moles of Elements in Feed** - **Carbon:** \( \frac{92}{12} = 7.67 \) mol - **Hydrogen:** \( \frac{4}{2} = 2 \) mol (since H₂ is diatomic) - **Ash:** Assume inert, will just carry through (4 g, no moles needed) --- # **Step 3: Flue Gas Composition** Orsat (water-free) analysis (Total = 100 mol basis for flue gas): - 13.9 mol CO₂ - .8 mol CO - 4.3 mol O₂ - 81 mol N₂ --- # **Step 4: Carbon Balance** **All C in CO₂ and CO:** \[ n_{C,\,gas} = 13.9 + .8 = 14.7\,\text{mol} \] But from feed, we had 7.67 mol C. So, let's check basis. Since we have 7.67 mol C in 100 g coke and 14.7 mol C in 100 mol flue gas, let’s scale everything to **7.67 mol C** basis. **Let y = moles of flue gas per 7.67 mol C.** \[ \text{C in 1 mol flue gas} = 13.9 + .8 = 14.7\% \] \[ 7.67\ \text{mol C} \rightarrow \frac{7.67}{.147} = 52.18\ \text{mol flue gas} \] So, for 100 g coke: - Flue gas = 52.18 mol --- # **Step 5: Calculate Each Flue Gas Component (per 100 g coke)** Multiply by 52.18: | Component | Mol % | Moles | |-----------|-------|-------| | CO₂ | 13.9% | \( 52.18 \times .139 = 7.25 \) | | CO | .8% | \( 52.18 \times .008 = .42 \) | | O₂ | 4.3% | \( 52.18 \times .043 = 2.24 \) | | N₂ | 81% | \( 52.18 \times .81 = 42.27 \) | --- # **Step 6: Oxygen Supplied** - O₂ in flue = 2.24 mol - O₂ consumed = (CO₂ + CO) × 1 (since 1 mol O₂ needed per C, but for CO, only .5 O₂ is needed): For CO₂: \( 7.25 \) mol × 1 O₂ For CO: \( .42 \) mol × .5 O₂ Total O₂ consumed = \( 7.25 + .21 = 7.46 \) mol Total O₂ supplied = O₂ consumed + O₂ in flue = \( 7.46 + 2.24 = 9.70 \) mol --- # **Step 7: Nitrogen Supplied (Air Supplied)** Air O₂:N₂ ratio is 1:3.76 (by mol). Since O₂ supplied = 9.70 mol, N₂ supplied = \( 9.70 \times 3.76 = 36.47 \) mol But N₂ in flue = 42.27 mol (matches, considering small error due to rounding). --- # **Step 8: Water Formed** All H → H₂O. H in feed = 2 mol (as H₂). So water formed = 2 mol H₂O. --- # **Step 9: Ash in Solid Refuse** Ash = 4 g (all remains as solid, no calculation needed for heat capacity). --- # **Step 10: Enthalpy Calculations** Let’s calculate the heat requirement using the enthalpy balance: \[ Q = (\sum n_p H_{p, T_p}) - (\sum n_r H_{r, T_r}) \] Let's use **standard state 25°C (298 K)** as reference. ### a) **Reactants at 40°C (313 K):** - Coke: 100 g (.1 kg) - Air: O₂ (9.70 mol), N₂ (36.47 mol) - All at 40°C ### b) **Products:** - CO₂: 7.25 mol at 110°C (1373 K) - CO: .42 mol at 110°C - H₂O: 2 mol at 110°C - O₂: 2.24 mol at 110°C - N₂: 42.27 mol at 110°C - Ash: 4 g at 200°C (473 K) --- ## **Step 10.1: Enthalpy of Reactants** ### **Coke (100 g, .1 kg)** \[ H_{\text{coke,40°C}} = m \cdot C_p \cdot (T - T_{ref}) \] \[ = .1 \times .85 \times (313 - 298) = .1 \times .85 \times 15 = 1.275\ \text{J} \] Negligible (since the basis is small). ### **O₂ and N₂ (Reactants) at 40°C (313 K):** \[ \Delta H = n \cdot C_p \cdot (T - T_{ref}) \] For O₂ (9.70 mol): \[ = 9.70 \times 30 \times 15 = 4365\ \text{J} = 4.37\ \text{kJ} \] For N₂ (36.47 mol): \[ = 36.47 \times 30 \times 15 = 16,411.5\ \text{J} = 16.41\ \text{kJ} \] --- ## **Step 10.2: Enthalpy of Products** All products at 110°C (1373 K), except ash at 200°C (473 K). - \( \Delta H = n \cdot [\Delta H_f^\circ + C_p \cdot (T - 298)] \) ### **CO₂ (7.25 mol):** \[ H = 7.25 \times [-393.5 + 30 \times (1373 - 298)/100] \] \[ = 7.25 \times [-393.5 + 32.25] = 7.25 \times [-361.25] = -2,619\ \text{kJ} \] ### **CO (.42 mol):** \[ H = .42 \times [-110.54 + 30 \times (1373 - 298)/100] = .42 \times [-110.54 + 32.25] = .42 \times [-78.29] = -32.88\ \text{kJ} \] ### **H₂O (2 mol):** \[ H = 2 \times [-241.83 + 30 \times (1373 - 298)/100] = 2 \times [-241.83 + 32.25] = 2 \times [-209.58] = -419.16\ \text{kJ} \] ### **O₂ (2.24 mol):** \[ H = 2.24 \times [ + 30 \times (1373 - 298)/100] = 2.24 \times 32.25 = 72.24\ \text{kJ} \] ### **N₂ (42.27 mol):** \[ H = 42.27 \times [ + 30 \times (1373 - 298)/100] = 42.27 \times 32.25 = 1,363.2\ \text{kJ} \] ### **Ash (4 g at 473 K):** \[ \Delta H = m \cdot C_p \cdot (T - T_{ref}) = 4 \times 8.5 \times (473 - 298)/100 = 4 \times 8.5 \times 175/100 = 4 \times 1.4875 = 5.95\ \text{kJ} \] --- ## **Step 10.3: Sum All Product Enthalpies** Total enthalpy of products: \[ = -2,619 + (-32.88) + (-419.16) + 72.24 + 1,363.2 + 5.95 = -2,619 - 32.88 - 419.16 + 72.24 + 1,363.2 + 5.95 = (-2,619 - 32.88 - 419.16) + (72.24 + 1,363.2 + 5.95) = (-3,071.04) + (1,441.39) = -1,629.65\ \text{kJ} \] --- ## **Step 10.4: Sum All Reactant Enthalpies** - Coke: 1.28 J = .0013 kJ (negligible) - O₂: 4.37 kJ - N₂: 16.41 kJ Total: \( .0013 + 4.37 + 16.41 = 20.78\ \text{kJ} \) --- ## **Step 10.5: Apply Enthalpy Balance** \[ Q = H_{\text{products}} - H_{\text{reactants}} \] \[ Q = (-1,629.65) - (20.78) = -1,650.43\ \text{kJ} \] --- # **Step 11: Final Answer and Interpretation** **Negative Q** means **heat is released by the process** (exothermic). --- ## **Final Answer:** \[ \boxed{ \text{Heat transfer from the process is } \mathbf{1,650\ \text{kJ} \text{ per 100 g coke burned} } } \] --- ### **Summary of Steps:** 1. **Basis:** 100 g coke. 2. **Mole balance** using flue gas composition. 3. **O₂ and N₂ supplied** from air. 4. **Water produced** from H balance. 5. **Calculate enthalpy of all streams** at their respective temperatures. 6. **Apply energy balance** to find heat transfer. --- If you want this **per kg coke or per mol C**, multiply accordingly!
