+//(13.5) Methane gas at 400 K and 1 atm enters a combustion chamber, where it is mixed with air entering at 500 K and 1 atm. The products of combustion exit at 1800 K and 1 atm with the product analysis given in Example 13.2. For operation at steady state, determine the rate of heat transfer from the combustion chamber in kJ per kmol of fuel. Neglect kinetic and potential energy effects. The average value for the specific heat cpbar of methane between 298 and 400 K is 38 kJ/kmol K.
