2. Suppose a new fuel cell is proposed, working on the gas-phase reaction1→-CO₂(such devices already exist in the solid state this question will assume just gas phasereactions etc). If the device is to operate at a temperature of 400K and initially at a pressure of1 bar:(a) Calculate the open circuit voltage produced by the fuel cell[4 marks](b) Calculate the mass flow rate (in kg/hr) of CO required to produce a power output1kW[1 mark](c) Calculate the entropy change of the system during the reaction(d) Calculate the heat rejected to maintain isothermal conditions(e) Calculate the irreversibility arising as a result of the fuel cell's operation.[2 marks][3 marks][5 marks](f) As part of the design revision, the operating pressure is raised to 35bar, with thetemperature maintained constant. Repeat steps 1-5; what observations do you make?[10 marks]

The key concepts involved in this problem include the Nernst equation (used to calculate the cell…

In the engine of a car that uses petrol as fuel, when the piston is at its highest position, air at 10 bar and 100°C enters the cylinder. Without any change in the volume, ignition occurs, and the air temperature rises to 1500°C. What is the air pressure after the ignition? (Select the closest value)[Whenever necessary, assume air as an ideal gas and consider R = 287 J/(kg.K).]
3. Assuming that air may be treated as a mixture of ideal gases which has a mass composition 23.2% oxygen and 76.8% nitrogen, find the gas constant and apparent molecular weight of air. [Ans. 0.288 kJ/kg K, 28.86]
1. At ordinary room temperature, it was found that specific heat ratio ‘k’ of air was 1.40. Estimate the R, Cp and Cv of air assuming that air content is solely composed of 21% of Oxygen and the rest is Nitrogen. Draw a figure or FBD that will support the problem. Explain each step by step formula.
Ql:- C4HS is burned in an engine with a fuel-rich air-fuel ratio. Dry analysis of the exhaust gives the following volume percents: COz 14.95%, C4HS 0.75%, CO 0%, Hz 0%, Oz 0%, with the rest being Nz.

You are working with a derivative of naphthalene and, like its parent compound, it has a high triple point and sublimates fairly readily at temperatures near room temperature. At temperatures below 400 K, you find that the vapor pressure of its solid can be represented by the function P 4200 K (1)-11.5 = 11.5 1 atm T Use this equation to estimate the normal sublimation temperature of this compound, Tsubl (in K).
