Liquid propane (C3H8) enters a combustion chamber at 25°C at a rate of 0.05 kg/min where it is mixed and burned with 50 percent excess air that enters the combustion chamber at 7°C. An analysis of the combustion gases reveals that all the hydrogen in the fuel burns to H2O but only 90 percent of the carbon burns to CO2, with the remaining 10 percent forming CO. If the exit temperature of the combustion gases is 1500 K, determine
1-The balanced chemical equation for the actual process
2-Air- Fuel ratio
3-The mass flow rate of air
Liquid n-Butane (C4H10) at 25°C enters a
combustion chamber at a rate of 0.9 kg/min
and is
burned completely with 130% excess air that
enters the combustion chamber at 290 K and
100
kPa, and the exit temperature of the
combustion gases is 1280 K. Determine the
maximum work potential (reversible work) per
kg of the n-Butane fuel.
A constant volume tank contain 1 mole of C7H14 and 12 mole of O2 gas at a temperature of 25 °C and 1 bar. The contents of the tank is ignited and C7H14 is burned completely and final products temperature is found to be 1700 K. Determine the heat transfer during this process. ( take AHo = -47800 kJ/kg).
