Combustion of Coal with Theoretical Air
Coal from Pennsylvania which has an ultimate analysis (by mass) as 84.36 percent C, 1.89 percent \mathrm{H}_2, 4.40 percent \mathrm{O}_2, 0.63 percent \mathrm{N}_2, 0.89 percent S, and 7.83 percent ash (non-combustibles) is burned with theoretical amount of air (Fig. 15-11). Disregarding the ash content, determine the mole fractions of the products and the apparent molar mass of the product gases. Also determine the air-fuel ratio required for this combustion process.
