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.

Liquid propane (C3H8) enters a combustion chamber at 25°C at a rate of 0.07 kg/min where it is mixed and burned with 40 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 H,0 but only 75 percent of the carbon burns to CO, with the remaining 25 percent forming CO. determine (a) the balanced equation for actual combustion process and (b) the mass flow rate of air.
