Homework Problems One mol of heptane (C7H16) is burned with 150% theoretical air.

Assuming combustion to be complete, calculate: (a) the change in mol between the reactants and products, (b) the theoretical air-fuel ratio, (c) the percentage of oxygen in the dry products, and (d) the dew-point if the products of combustion are at 1 atm. 2. The following is the percentage volumetric analysis of a dry exhaust gas: CO2 = 7.2, CO - 1.0, O2 - 10 and N2 - 81.8. Find the composition of the exhaust gases on a weight basis. Also find the approximate formula of the fuel from which the gases originated, assuming it to be a hydrocarbon. Find the dew-point of the products at a pressure of 1.01 bar. 3. A fuel contains 82.2% carbon by weight and the exhaust gas contains 6.8% CO2 as well as 0.5% CO. Find the fraction of carbon burned to CO per kg of fuel and the fraction per kg of carbon. Derive the expression for air-fuel ratio in terms percentages of CO2, CO, N2 in the exhaust gas percentage of carbon in fuel. If the enthalpies of formation of CO2 and CO are 393,810 kJmol-1 and 127,250 kJmol-1 respectively, find the decrease in energy release due to incomplete combustion. (List the assumptions required). 4. Diesel oil (C12H26) is burned with 220% theoretical air in steady flow. The oil temperature is 65C and the air is at 200C. The combustion products leave at 927C. Neglecting changes in kinetic and potential energies of the fuel, find the energy transfer as heat from the combustion chamber per kg of fuel. 5. A hydrocarbon fuel with an enthalpy of combustion 43,130 -1 kJkg at 25C is burned with air at 200 C in steady flow. The combustion products emerging from the combustion chamber have the Orsat analysis, CO2-10.5%, CO-3.8%, O2-5.3%and N2-80.4%. Find the fuel composition, the actual air-fuel ratio and the heat transferkg-1 of fuel if the adiabatic flame temperature is 1100K.
