A piston-cylinder arrangement initially contains 0.002 kmol of H, and
0.01 kmol of O, at 298 K and l atm. The mixture is ignited and burns
adiabatically at constant pressure. Determine the final temperature assum-
ing the products contain only H20 and the excess reactant. Also deter-
mine the work done during the process. Sketch the process on H-T and
P-V coordinates.
A constant volume tank contain 1 mole of C7H14 and 12 mole of O2 gas at a temperature of 25 °C and 1 bar. The contents of the tank is ignited and C7H14 is burned completely and final products temperature is found to be 1700 K. Determine the heat transfer during this process. ( take AHo = -47800 kJ/kg).
