Ethane (C2H6) is burned with air in asteady-flow combustor. The mass flow rate of fuel entering thecombustor is 0.57 kg/s and the equivalence ratio is 0.64. The fuelenters at 25oC and the air enters at 500 K.Determine:

The heat release rate, in kW.

The mass flow rate of air, in kg/s.

The mole fraction of O2 in the products.

The mass fraction of CO2 in the products.

The total mass of CO2 produced per year (365 days),assuming that they system operates continuously 24 hours per day,in kg.

The adiabatic flame temperature, using 1400 and 2400 K as yourguesses.
