Propane gas C3H8 enters a gas turbine at 20oC and completely burns with 200% of theoretical air entering at 20oC, 1 atm and with a volumtric ﬂow rate of 40 m3/s. If the products of combustion exit the turbine at 880 K, 1 atm and the fuel and air entering having almost zero velocity, determine the thrust produced by the turbine in kN.
Within the cylinder of an internal combustion engine, gasoline with an ordinary octane rating (C8H18) is intended to burn with an excess of air equal to fifty percent. a) Please display the actual equation for combustion.b) You need to calculate the actual air fuel ratio.c) Figure out the mass of wet products of combustion produced per kilogram of fuel, as well as the mass of dry products of combustion produced per kilogram of fuel

A new coal-fired power plant with a heat rate of 9000 Btu/kWh burns coalwith an energy content of 24,000 kJ/kg. The coal content includes 62%carbon, 2% sulfur and 10% unburnable minerals called ash.a. Knowing that 1 Btu/kWh is equivalent with 1.055 kJ/kWh, what willbe the carbon emission rate (g C/kWh)?b. What will be the uncontrolled sulfur emission rate (g S/kWh)?c. If 70% of the ash is released from the stack (called fly ash), what wouldbe the corresponding uncontrolled emission rate (g fly ash/kWh)?d. Since the Clean Air Act restricts SO2 emissions to 130 g of sulfur per106 kJ of heat into the plant, what removal efficiency does thecorresponding equipment need to have for the plant? What is the name ofthis equipment? (1 kWh = 3600 kJ)e. What efficiency does the removal equipment need to have to meet theClean Air Act standard of no more than 13 g of fly ash per 106 kJ of heatinput? What is the name of this equipment?f. If 80% of thermal losses are taken away by cooling system…

A bituminous coal has the following compositions: C = 71.6 %, N2 = 1.3 %, A =9.1 %, H2 = 4.8 %, S = 3.4 %, W = 3.5 %, and O2 = 6.3 %. The dilution coefficient is 1.35and the coal consumption is 11762 kg/hr. Determine: a) the actual air-fuel ratio requiredfor combustion; and b) the actual air required per hour.
Taking the recent World Energy Council and United Nations resource-base figures for the total amount of fossil energy in the ground worldwide as 356,000 quads, how long will it take to exhaust our fossil resources, assuming that we can recover one-half of the resource base and that usage grows at 3% per year? The world currently consumes about 400 quads of primary energy per year, of which 85% is from fossil sources. (Hint: you will need to account for the compounding, exponential growth effect of the 3% per year increase in consumption.)
Thirty kilograms of butane gas per minute burns with dry air inside a combustion chamber, giving products having the dry molar analysis of 11.0% carbon dioxide, 1.0% carbon monoxide, 3.5% oxygen, and 84.5% nitrogen. Calculate the minimum duct diameter, in mm, used to supply the combustion air at 1 bar and 27 deg C and at a flow velocity of 15 m/s.
A car has a fuel efficiency of 17.5 mpg and is driven 100,000 miles during its life. How many lbs of CO2 per mile are generated? Given 19.4 lbs of CO2 emitted per gallon of gas. If the fuel efficiency of this same car were increased to 35 mpg, how much less CO2 would be emitted to the atmosphere over the course of the car’s lifetime? Your answer should be in lbs of CO2.
