I'm working on a chemical engineering multi-part question and need support to help me understand better.
A fuel mixture containing 45 mol ethane (C2H6)/ h and 55 mol propane (C3H8)/ h is burned in a combustion reactor with 3700 mol air/ h (where air contains 21 mol% O2 and 79 mol% N2). The percent conversion of ethane is 63%, and the percent conversion of propane is 72%. In the reactor outlet stream, the molar ratio of CO2:CO is 3:1. Use the Atomic Species Balance Method to solve this problem.
a) Draw a completely labelled flowchart for this process, including all known values and all unknown variables.
b) Perform a degree of freedom analysis for this process.
c) Calculate the percent excess air that is being fed to the com
