Q3: B:
A 208 g of C6H6 (78 g/mol.) burns in air according to the equation:
CHs + O2 - CO2 +H2O
What mass of CO2 (44 g/mol.) is produced?
A mass of gasoline equal to 450kg is stored in a tank. What is its weight in newtons and in pounds on
the earth's surface? What would its mass and weight be if located on the moon's surface whre the
local acceleration due to gravity is approximately one-sixth that at the earth's surface?
Write an expression for the ratio for ideal combustion of any alkane fuel with chemical formula CxH2x+2. You are essentially looking for a simple function f(x) that satisfies the following relation for any value of x (see attach pic). Show that your function f(x) works for the following alkanes:
a. Methane – CH4
b. Ethane – C2H6
c. Propane – C3H8

The pollutant concentration in the air stream is 3 g/m³. The fuel to be added is methane at a volumetric treated air-to-fuel (AF) ratio of 80. Its heat of combustion is 50,100 kJ/kg (you can assume the same for the pollutant). The reaction chamber following the combustion zone is a cylinder. The design flow velocity is 5 m/s and the residence time for the gas stream is to be 1 s. Find (a) the average temperature of the gas leaving the combustion zone and entering the reaction zone in degrees K; (b) the diameter of the reaction chamber in m, and (c) the length of the reaction chamber in m. You can assume that the polluted air to be treated has the properties of air (so the specific heat is 1.1 kJ/kg-K; also use this for the specific heat of the methane, your added fuel).arrow_forward
