Question
1. Determine the theoretical weight of air needed in kgair/kgfuel if the fuel used has 40.3°API.
2. A petrol has the following analysis: 85.5% carbon, 14.4% hydrogen, and 0.10% sulfur. Calculate the volume of air in m³ at 1.0 bar and 15°C required for perfect combustion of 1 kg of
the fuel.
3. A typical industrial fuel oil, C16H32, is burned with 20% excess air. Calculate the actual weight of air in kgair/sec needed for 3.2 kg per sec of fuel.
4. A logging firm in Isabela operates a Diesel Electric plant to supply its electric energy requirements. During a 24-hour period, the plant consumed 350 gallons of fuel at 80 deg.F and
produces 2700 kW-hrs. Industrial fuel used is 30°API and was purchased at P3.00 per liter at 60 deg.F. Determine the overall efficiency of the plant.
5. A diesel engine consumed 945 liters of fuel per day at 30°C. If the fuel was purchased at 15.5°C and 30°API at Php5.00/liter, determine the cost of fuel to operate the engine per day
