Octane gas (C8H18) and atmospheric air are supplied to a combustion chamber at 25°C at the stoichiometric air/fuel
ratio. The combustion takes place adiabatically under steady-flow condition. The change in velocity and the work transfer
can be assumed negligible. The Enthalpy of Combustion of octane gas at 25°C is – 5,116,180 kJ/kmol (when H2O in the
combustion products is in vapor phase). Determine with aid of the Table on Page 26, the final temperature of the
combustion products.
Q1. Propane (C3H8) gas enters a steady-flow adiabatic combustion chamber at 25°℃ and 1 atm. It is burned with
300 percent excess air that also enters at 25°C and 1 atm. Assuming complete combustion, determine (a) the
temperature of the products, (b) the entropy generation, and (c) the reversible work and exergy destruction. Assume
that To = 298 K and the products leave the combustion chamber at 1 atm pressure.
A gaseous fuel with 80% butane, 15% nitrogen and 5% oxygen (on a mole basis) is burned to completion with 120 percent theoretical air that enters the combustion chamber at 30°C and 100 kPa. Determine the volume flow rate of air required to burn fuel at a rate of 2 kg/min.
