Blue Water Gas is obtained by passing steam over red hot carbon enriched coal (coke). The gas is called "Blue" water gas because of its blue flame, a characteristic of the combustion of CO. A typical composition shows 4.7% CO2, 41% CO, 49% H2, 0.8% CH4 and 4.5%N2. If blue water gas at 25oC, 745 torrs and 90% RH is burned in wet air, 30% in excess, supplied at the same conditions as BWG with 85% RH, calculate: a) Orsat analysis of the stack gas if the molar ratio of CO2 to CO is 8:1; H2 to CO is 1:4 (Ans:  11.56% CO2, 1.44%CO) b) m3 air/m3 BWG (Ans: 2.88) c) m3 stack gas(100 kPa; 300oC)/100 moles dry BWG (Ans: 17036.81) (detailed solution please) thank you!
