Methane combusts with air in a furnace as CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O. The heat of reaction ΔHrxn = −880 kJ per mol CH4 and is assumed to be constant. The furnace is well-insulated and no other side reactions occur. All components behave as ideal gases with a constant molar heat capacity of 44 J mol−1 °C−1. Air may be considered as 20 mol% O2 and 80 mol% N2. The air-fuel mixture enters the furnace at 50 °C. The methane conversion X varies with the air-to-methane mole ratio, r, as X = 1 − 0.1 e−2(r−rs) with 0.9 rs ≤ r ≤ 1.1 rs, where rs is the stoichiometric air-to-methane mole ratio. For r = 1.05 rs, the exit flue gas temperature in °C, rounded off to 1 decimal place, is ______

Correct : 10.0
