Question #146711
The gross heating value (GHV) of gaseous propane at 298 K is 2219.71 kJ/mol. Calculate the net heating value (NHV) of the propane. Given that, the latent heat of water vapours at 298 K=2442.5 kJ/kg.

Basis : 1 mol of gaseous propane.


C3H8+5O23CO2+4H2OC_3H_8+5O_2\to 3CO_2 +4H_2O


1mol C3H8=4 moleH2O1 mol\space C_3H_8 =4\space mole H_2O


i.e when 1mol of C3H8 burnt,4 moles of H2O are produced.i.e\space when \space 1mol \space of \space C_3H_8 \space burnt , 4\space moles \space of \space H_2O \space are \space produced.
