Products exit a combustor at a rate of 100 kg/sec, and the air-fuel ratio is 9. Determine the air flow rate. a. 9 kg/sec b. 90 kg/sec c. 100 kg/sec d. 10 kg/sec

the air flow rate a is 90 kg/sec; Option b) 90 kg/sec is the correct answer

Explanation:

Given that;

product of combustor flow rate m = 100 kg/s

air-fuel = 9

Airflow rate = ?

⇒We know that in the combustor, air fuel are mixed and then ignited,

⇒air fuel products are exited at the combustor

let air and fuel be a and b respectively

⇒ a + b = 100 kg/sec let this be equation 1

now

⇒ air / fuel = 9

a / b = 9

a = 9b let this be equation 2

now input a = 9b in equation 1

9b + b = 100 kg/sec

10b = 100 kg/sec

b = 10 kg/sec

we know that

a = 9b

so a = 9 × 10 = 90 kg/sec

Therefore the air flow rate a is 90 kg/sec
