Consider the combustion process described in Problem 13.119.

a. Calculate the absolute entropy of the fuel mixture before it is throttled into the combustion chamber.

b. Calculate the irreversibility for the overall process.

Problem 13.119

A mixture of 80% ethane and 20% methane on a mole basis is throttled from 10 MPa, 65?C, to 100 kPa and is fed to a combustion chamber, where it undergoes complete combustion with air, which enters at 100 kPa, 600 K. The amount of air is such that the products of combustion exit at 100 kPa, 1200 K. Assume that the combustion process is adiabatic and that all components behave as ideal gases except the fuel mixture, which behaves according to the generalized charts, with Kay's rule for the pseudocritical constants. Determine the percentage of theoretical air used in the process and the dew-point temperature of the products.
