Chapter 34, Problem 1SA
A rich air-fuel ratio causes HC emissions to ________.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The appropriate word to fill in the blank in the statement “ A rich air-fuel causes HC emissions to _______”.
Answer to Problem 1SA
A rich air-fuel ratio causes higher HC emissions.
Explanation of Solution
Unburned hydrocarbons are usually, vapors of gasoline that have not been burned during combustion. HC emissions illustrate that the combustion of fuel is not completed in the engine cylinder. The amount of HC depends on certain engine conditions, one of which is a rich air-fuel ratio. Whenever the mixture of air-fuel is extremely rich it causes higher HC and CO emissions.

The wall of a furnace has a thickness of 5 cm and thermal conductivity
of 0.7 W/m-°C. The inside surface is heated by convection with a hot
gas at 402°C and a heat transfer coefficient of 37 W/m²-°C. The
outside surface has an emissivity of 0.8 and is exposed to air at 27°C
with a heat transfer coefficient of 20 W/m²-ºC. Assume that the
furnace is inside a large room with walls, floor and ceiling at 27°C.
Show the thermal circuit and determine the heat flux through the
furnace wall.
