Flue gas is the gas leaving to the atmosphere via a duct, which is a pipe or channel for conveying exhaust gases from a fireplace, oven, furnace, boiler or steam generator. Quite often, the flue gas refers to the combustion exhaust gas produced at power plants. Its composition depends on what is being burned, but it will usually consist of mostly nitrogen derived from the combustion of air, carbon dioxide (CO2). and water vapor as well as excess oxygen. It further contains a small percentage of a number of pollutants, such as particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur oxides. As per the annual report released by sohar power plant, the company produces the flue gas in to atmosphere and it has the following composition by volume percent:
CO: 34.8, H2: 42.0, CH4: 0.4, CO2: 5.5, O2: 0.2, and N2: 17.1. Calculate
(a) The composition in mass percent
(b) The average molecular weight
(c) The density at standard conditions in kg/m.
Assume suitable conditions/ assumptions to solve the problem and justify your assumptions. Write the step by step by procedure of solution.
