• e=f=0 • Stoichiometric fuel and air mixture (aST) • Atomic Balance (atoms are conserved during chemical reactions) • C: x = b so b = x (e=0) • H: y = 2c, so c = y/2, • O: 2aST = 2b + c = 2x + y/2, so aST = x + y/4 (f = 0) • Depends on fuel; This is the amount of air needed for complete Stoichiometric combustion • N: 2(3.76) aST = 2d, so d = 3.76aST = 3.76(x + y/4) • For a Stoichiometric Combustion • CxHy + (x + y/4)(O2+3.76N2) ο (x)CO2 + (y/2) H2O + 3.76(x + y/4) N2 Stoichiometric Hydrocarbon Combustion air • CxHy + a(O2+3.76N2) ο (x)CO2 + (y/2) H2O + 3.76a N2 • a = number of oxygen molecules per fuel molecule • Number of air molecules per fuel molecule is a(1+3.76) • If a = aST = x + y/4, then the reaction is Stoichiometric • No O2 or Fuel in products • This mixture produces nearly the hottest flame temperature • If a < x + y/4, then reaction is fuel-rich (oxygen-lean) • If a > x + y/4, then reaction is fuel-lean (oxygen-rich) • Air to fuel mass ratio [kg air/kg fuel] of reactants • π΄ πΉ = ππ΄ππ ππΉπ’ππ = ππ΄ππ πππ΄ππ ππΉπ’ππ πππΉπ’ππ = • For Stoichiometric mixture: ππ2 ππ΄ππ ππ 2 πππ΄ππ (1+3.76)πππ΄ππ ππΉπ’ππ πππΉπ’ππ 1∗πππΉπ’ππ π΄ (1+3.76)πππ΄ππ = π ππ‘ πΉ ππ‘ 1∗πππΉπ’ππ • Need to find molecular weights =π Molecular Weight of a Pure Substance x x x • Only one type of molecule: • AxByCz… • Molecular Weight • MW = x(AWA) + y(AWB) + z(AWC) + … • AWi = atomic weights • Inside front cover of book • Examples • πππ2 = 2(AWπ ) = 2(15.9994) = 32.00 ππ ππππ • πππ»2π = 2(AWπ» ) + (AWπ ) = 2(1.00794) + (15.9994) • πππππππππ = πππΆ3 π»8 = 3 12.011 + 8 1.00794 • See page 701 for fuels ππ = 18.02 ππππ ππ = 44.097 ππππ x xx x x x End 2015 Mixtures containing n components • Total number of moles in system • ππππ‘ππ = π π=1 ππ • Mole Fraction of species i • ππ = π ππ πππ‘ππ = ππ π π=1 ππ • Mass Fraction of species i • ππ = π ππ πππ‘ππ = • πππππ₯ = π π=1 ππ • ππ = ππ πππ = mass of species π • Total Mass • π πππ‘ππ = • Mixture Molar Weight: πππππ₯ = • πππππ₯ = ππ π π=1 ππ • Useful facts: • ππ=1 ππ = ππ=1 ππ = 1 • but ππ ≠ ππ ππ ππ ππ ππ = = x x xx x x x o o o x x • ππ = number of moles of species π • π = 1, 2, . . π o ππ πππ = ππππ‘ππ ππππ‘ππ = ππ /πππ ππππ‘ππ ππππ‘ππ ππ πππ 1 ππ /πππ • Example • πππ΄ππ = ππ πππ = 0.21πππ2 + 0.79πππ2 • = 0.21 ∗ 2 ∗ 15.9994 + 0.79 ∗ 2 ∗ 14.0067 ππ • = 0.21 ∗ 32.00 + 0.79 ∗ 28.00 = 28.85 πππππ • Remember and/or write inside front cover of your book • Relationship between ππ and ππ • ππ = π ππ πππ‘ππ • ππ = ππ =π πππππ₯ πππ ππ πππ πππ‘ππ πππππ₯ πππ = ππ ππ πππ₯ Stoichiometric Air/Fuel Mass Ratio • π΄ πΉ ππ‘ = πππ‘ (1+3.76)πππ΄ππ 1∗πππΉπ’ππ • πππ΄ππ = ππ πππ = ππ 28.85 πππππ • πππΉπ’ππ = πππΆπ₯π»π¦ = π₯ 12.011 + π¦(1.00794) • aSt = x + y/4 • π΄ πΉ ππ‘ π¦ = ππ π₯+ 4 (4.76)28.85πππππ ππ ππ π₯ 12.011 +π¦(1.00794 ) • For πΆπ₯ π»π¦ , 10 < πππππ π΄ πΉ ππ‘ πππππ < 35 • Constraints on y/x later π¦ π₯ = 136.24 1+ 4 11.92+ π¦ π₯ Equivalence Ratio Φ •Φ= π΄ π΄ πΉ ππ‘ = πΉ π΄ππ‘π’ππ πΉπ΄ππ‘π’ππ π΄ππ‘ πΉππ‘ π΄π΄ππ‘π’ππ • Φ = 1 → Stiochiometric • Φ > 1 → Fuel Rich • Φ < 1 → Fuel Lean •π= πππ‘ Φ π¦ = π₯+ 4 Φ • CxHy + a(O2+3.76N2) •% •% 100% Φ πΉππ‘ π΄π΄ππ‘π’ππ Stoichiometric Air (%SA)= = ∗ 100% πΉπ΄ππ‘π’ππ π΄ππ‘ 1 Excess Oxygen (%EO) = (%SA)-100% = − 1 100% Φ Example • For extra credit, this problem may be clearly reworked and turned in at the beginning of the next class period. • Problem 2.11, Page 91: In a propane-fueled truck, 3 percent (by volume) oxygen is measure in the exhaust stream of the running engine.
