+//(13.14) Methane gas enters a reactor and burns completely with 140% theoretical air. Combustion products exit as a mixture at temperature T and a pressure of 1 atm. For T = 480 and 1560 K, evaluate the flow exergy of the combustion products, in kJ per kmol of fuel. Perform calculations relative to an environment consisting of an ideal gas mixture at 25C, 1 atm with the molar analysis, yeN2 = 0.7567, yeO2 = 0.2035, yeH2O = 0.0303, yeCO2 = 0.0003.
