Methane is burned with 25% excess air in a continuous adiabatic reactor. The methane enters the reactor at 25°C and 1.10 atm at a rate of 550 L/s, and the entering air is at 150°C and 1.1 atm. Combustion in the reactor is complete, and the reactor effluent gas emerges at 1.05 atm.

(a) Calculate the temperature and the degrees of superheat of the reactor effluent. (Consider water to be the only condensable species in the effluent.)

(b) Suppose only 15% excess air is supplied. Without doing any additional calculations, state how the temperature and degrees of superheat of the reactor effluent would be affected [increase, decrease, remain the same, cannot tell without more information] and explain your reasoning. What risk is involved in lowering the percent excess air?

Two nitro no2 groups are chemically bonded to a patch of surface. they can't move to another location on the surface, but they can rotate (see sketch at right). it turns out that the amount of rotational kinetic energy each no2 group can have is required to be a multiple of ε, where =ε×1.010−24 j. in other words, each no2 group could have ε of rotational kinetic energy, or 2ε, or 3ε, and so forth — but it cannot have just any old amount of rotational kinetic energy. suppose the total rotational kinetic energy in this system is initially known to be 32ε. then, some heat is removed from the system, and the total rotational kinetic energy falls to 18ε. calculate the change in entropy. round your answer to 3 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct unit symbol.

The diagrams show objects’ gravitational pull toward each other. which statement describes the relationship between diagram x and y? gravity attracts only larger objects toward one another. gravity attracts larger objects only if they are close to one another. if the masses of the objects increase, then the force between them also increases. if distance between the objects increases, then the amount of force also increases.
