Question

A fuel oil is burned with 65% excess air, and the combustion characteristics of the
fuel oil are similar to a paraffin series dodecane C12H26. Determine: (a) the actual
air/fuel ratio (A/F) on a mole basis, (b) the actual air/fuel ratio (A/F) on a mass basis,
and (c) the actual volumetric (molar) analysis of the products of combustion. State all
the assumptions that you would made before solving this question. Air contains 21%
O2 and 79% N2 by mole. Do not solve in tabulated form.
