A fuel (H/C=1.78, LHV= 43 MJ/kg, MW=180 kg/kmol) is used to operate a diesel engine at an A/F=17. The fuel and air enter at standard conditions (298K) and the exhaust products exit at 800K. The fuel flow into the engine is 3.6 g/s. The power out is 57 kW.

Question
A fuel (H/C=1.78, LHV= 43 MJ/kg, MW=180 kg/kmol) is used to operate a diesel engine at
an A/F=17. The fuel and air enter at standard conditions (298K) and the exhaust products exit
at 800K. The fuel flow into the engine is 3.6 g/s. The power out is 57 kW.
а)
b)
Find x & y for the thermodynamically representative fuel, CxHy.
Find the fuel's heat of formation.
c)
Assuming complete combustion, find the heat loss from the engine, Q (kW).
