//(13.16)   For the reactor of Example 13.9, determine the exergy destruction, in kJ per kmol of fuel, and devise and evaluate an exergetic efficiency. Consider (a) complete combustion with the theoretical amount of air (b) complete combustion with 400% theoretical air. For the fuel, use the chemical exergy value determined in Example 13.12(a).
