The fuel enters the furnace at 25oC and 1 atm, and the air enters at 200oC and 1 atm. The stack gas leaves the furnace at 800oC and 1 atm containing 5.32% CO2, 1.60% CO, 7.32% O2, 12.24% H2O and the balance N2. Calculate the heat (kJ) transferred from the reactor per cubic meter of the fuel gas fed. (R = 0.08205 L-atm/mole-K) (30 pts) 2.
