The current emissions standards for new railway Diesel locomotives limit CO emissions to 1.5 g/bhp-hr, "bhp" being the brake horsepower output of the engine (not the locomotive - cf $2.7.1 (d) of the notes). (a) Determine the fuel consumption of a 4400 hp locomotive in kg/hr. Assume that the brake efficiency of the engine is 45% based on the LHV, and that the fuel is Diesel containing 86.3% C and 13.7% H by mass with an LHV = 46.1 MJ/kg. Conversion: 1 hp = 0.746 kW. (b) Calculate the maximum allowable CO emission in kg/hr and in kmol CO per kg fuel.

The current emissions standards for new railway Diesel locomotives limit CO emissions to 1.5
g/bhp-hr, "bhp" being the brake horsepower output of the engine (not the locomotive - cf $2.7.1 (d)
of the notes).
(a) Determine the fuel consumption of a 4400 hp locomotive in kg/hr. Assume that the brake
efficiency of the engine is 45% based on the LHV, and that the fuel is Diesel containing 86.3% C
and 13.7% H by mass with an LHV = 46.1 MJ/kg. Conversion: 1 hp = 0.746 kW.
(b) Calculate the maximum allowable CO emission in kg/hr and in kmol CO per kg fuel.
