Combustion of furnace oil in a furnace (soaking pit) with preheated combustion air at 400°C results in saving of about __________ percent furnace oil as compared to its combustion with atmospheric air, if the flue gas outlet temperature from the soaking pit is 1200°C.
Furnace oil consumption in a furnace for a given duty employing preheated combination air (at 300° ) may be reduced by about __________ percent as compared to the use of atmospheric combustion air.
A solid-oxide fuel cell is fed with carbon monoxide and reacts with air to produce CO2. This reaction will produce 2 electrons which are used to power an electric circuit external to the fuel cell. The reaction equation is shown below: 2CO(g) + O2(g) -> 2CO2(g) ΔHr° = -565.96 kJ/mol This reaction does not occur for other types of fuel cells which use a catalyst, such as polymerelectrolyte membrane or phosphoric-acid fuel cells. The presence of carbon monoxide on the anode side of these types of fuel cells will cause catalyst poisoning, reducing the efficiency and voltage of the fuel cell. Determine the rate of enthalpy change for a carbon dioxide production rate of 208 mol/hr. The extent of the reaction occurring in the fuel cell can be obtained by the following equation: where:
