Determine the temperature to which the exhaust must be


An icky, unknown hydrocarbon fuel of the form (CH2)n is burned with an unknown amount of excess air x in the following gosh awful reaction:

(CH2)n + 1.5n(1+x)[O2+3.76(N2)] → n(CO2)+n(H2O)+1.5nx(O2)+5.64n(1+x)(N2)

An exhaust gas analysis of the products of this combustion yielded the Table 15.11 percentage composition on a volume basis. Using these data, determine

a. The temperature to which the exhaust must be cooled to cause the water vapor to condense, if the exhaust is at a total pressure of 22.223 psia.

b. The amount of excess air x used in the combustion process.

c. The air/fuel ratio on a mass basis.
