(a) Explanation Write the expression for molar air-fuel ratio. A F = A F ¯ ( M air M fuel ) A F ¯ = A F ( M fuel M air ) (I) Here, the mass of fuel is M fuel , the mass of air is M air , the molar air fuel ratio is A F ¯ and the air-fuel ratio is A F . Write the expression for molar mass of fuel. M fuel = 10 ( m C ) + 22 ( m H ) (II) Here, the molecular weight of the carbon is m C and the molecular weight of the hydrogen is m H . Each mole of O 2 in air is accompanied by 4.76 moles of dry air. Write the expression for chemical Equation. [ C 10 H 22 + ( A F ¯ 4.76 kmol ) ( O 2 + 3.76 N 2 ) ] → [ a CO 2 + b H 2 O + c O 2 + d N 2 ] (III) Here, the moles of CO 2 is a , the moles of H 2 O is b the moles of O 2 is c and the moles of N 2 is d . Write the expression for the number of hydrogen in decane. n H = 2 b (IV) Write the expression for number of carbon in decane. n C = a (V) Write the expression for number of oxygen in decane. n O = 2 a + b + 2 c (VI) Write the expression for the number of nitrogen in decane. n N = 2 ( 3.76 kmol ) ( A F ¯ 4.76 kmol ) (VII) Write the expression for molar fraction of CO 2 . y i CO 2 = a a + c + d (VIII) Here, the amount of CO 2 present is a , the amount of O 2 present is b and the amount of N present is d . Write the expression for molar fraction of O 2 . y i O 2 = c a + c + d (IX) Write the expression for molar fraction of N . y i N = d a + c + d (X) Conclusion: Refer to the Table A-1 “Atomic or molecular weights and critical properties of selected elements and compounds” to obtain molecular weight of carbon as 12.01 kg / kmol . The molecular weight of hydrogen is 1.016 kg / kmol . Substitute 12.01 kg / kmol for m C and 1.016 kg / kmol for m H in Equation (II). M fuel = 10 ( 12 (b) To determine Percent of theoretical air.

A very thin metallic sheet is placed between two wood plates of different thicknesses. Theplates are firmly pressed together and electricity is passed through the sheet. The exposed surfaces ofthe two plates lose heat to the ambient fluid by convection. Assume uniform heating at the interface.Neglect end effects and assume steady state.[a] Will the heat transfer through the two plates be the same? Explain.[b] Will the exposed surfaces be at the same temperature? Explain

Design consideration requires that the surface of a small electronic package be maintained at atemperature not to exceed 82 o C. Noise constraints rule out the use of fans. The power dissipated inthe package is 35 watts and the surface area is 520 cm2 . The ambient temperature and surroundingwalls are assumed to be at 24 o C. The heat transfer coefficient is estimated to be 9.2 W/m2- oC andsurface emissivity is 0.7. Will the package dissipate the required power without violating designconstraints?

Consider radiation from a small surface at 100 oC which is enclosed by a much larger surface at24 o C. Determine the percent increase in the radiation heat transfer if the temperature of the smallsurface is doubled.
