Volume of air (moist)
Let X Kg mole moist air
Since the air is moist, we have to calculate composition of air.
PN2 + PO2+ PH2O = 740 mm Hg
PN2 + PO2 = 740 – 0.8 × 26
PN2 + PO2 = 719.2 mm Hg
PN2 = 568.168 mm
PO2 = 151.032 mm
PH2O = 20.800 mm
Composition of 1 Kg mole of moist air
N2 = 0.7677
O2 = 0.2041
H2O = 0.0281
N2 balance
N in coal + N2 from moist air = N2 in Producer gas
0.017/28 + 0.7677X = 0.53 × 0.208
X = 0.14279 Kg mole or = 3.601 m3 (26oC and 740 mm Hg)
Weight of steam : Hydrogen balance
Consider Z Kg mole steam.
0.025 + 0.00094 + Z + 0.00401 = 0.004472
Z = 0.015 Kg mole
= 0.266 Kg steam/Kg coal
% H2O blown in, that was decomposed
Water vapour in PG = Water from evaporation of M of coal + Water of undecomposed steam
0.025 × 0.208 = 0.017/18 + W
W = 0.004255 Kg mole undecomposed steam
Steam decomposed = {0.266 − (0.004255 × 18)}
= 0.1895 Kg
% steam blown, that is decomposed in producer gas = 0.1895 × 100/ 0.266
= 71.2
