Step 1
The percent theoretical air can be determined by calculating the amount of nitrogen in the dry molar analysis and comparing it to the amount of nitrogen in air. In the dry molar analysis, the percentage of nitrogen is 84.5%. In air, the percentage of nitrogen is Show more…

13. 23 Butane $\left(\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{10}\right.$ ) burns with air, giving products having the dry molar analysis $11.0 \% \mathrm{CO}_{2}, 1.0 \% \mathrm{CO}, 3.5 \% \mathrm{O}_{2}, 84.5 \% \mathrm{~N}_{2}$. Determine (a) the percent theoretical air. (b) the dew point temperature of the combustion products, in ${ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, at 1 bar.

One lbm of butane $\left(\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{10}\right)$ is burned with 25 lbm of air that is at $90^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$ and 14.7 psia. Assuming that the combustion is complete and the pressure of the products is 14.7 psia, determine $(a)$ the percentage of theoretical air used and $(b)$ the dew-point temperature of the products.
$13.12$ Octane $\left(\mathrm{C}_{8} \mathrm{H}_{18}\right)$ burns completely with $120 \%$ of theoretical air. Determine (a) the air-fuel ratio on a molar and mass basis. (b) the dew point temperature of the combustion products, in ${ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, when cooled at $1 \mathrm{~atm}$.
