+//(13.3) A natural gas has the following molar analysis: CH4, 80.62%; C2H6, 5.41%; C3H8, 1.87%; C4H10, 1.60%; N2, 10.50%. The gas is burned with dry air, giving products having a molar analysis on a dry basis: CO2, 7.8%; CO, 0.2%; O2, 7%; N2, 85%. (a) Determine the air–fuel ratio on a molar basis. (b) Assuming ideal gas behavior for the fuel mixture, determine the amount of products in kmol that would be formed from 100 m3 of fuel mixture at 300 K and 1 bar. (c) Determine the percent of theoretical air.
