Liquid octane is burned steadily with air in a jet engine. If the air–fuel ratio is 18 kg air/kg fuel, determine the percentage of excess air used during this process.
If one mole of air/fuel mixture (rigid diatomic gas) is initially at 20◦C, is compressed and expanded 7-fold as part of the Otto cycle, and 4 kJ of heat is generated by burning the air/fuel mixture, calculate: (i) the temperature after each stage of the Otto cycle; (ii) the heat absorbed/expelled during each stage of the cycle; and (iii) the efficiency of the Otto cycle.
The exhaust gas analysis of an engine using octane as fuel gives equal values of CO, and unused O. Computer actual and stolchlometric air-fuel ratio. For equivalence ratio of 1. Calculate
(1) The volume of mixture per kg of fuel at pressure of 100 kPa and temp 70°C..
