Question

Methane (CH4)(CH_4) at 25C,25^\circ C, 1 atm enters a furnace operating at steady state and burns completely with 140% of theoretical air entering at 400 K, 1 atm. The products of combustion exit at 700 K, 1 atm. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. If the rate of heat transfer from the furnace to the surroundings is 400 kW, determine the mass flow rate of methane, in kg/s.

Data:

TCH4=25 CT_{CH_4}=25\text{ C} - Inet temperature of methane

pCH4=1 batmp_{CH_4}=1\text{ batm} - Inet pressure of methane

pair=1 atmp_{air}=1\text{ atm} = Inlet pressure of air

Tair=400 K=127 CT_{air}=400\text{ K}=127\text{ C} - Inlet temperature of air

Tcp=700 K=427 CT_{cp}=700\text{ K}=427\text{ C} - Temperature of combustion products

pcp=1 atmp_{cp}=1\text{ atm} - Pressure of combustion products

Qc=400 kWQ_c=400\text{ kW} - Rate of heat tansfer
