Consider following chemical reaction for the combustion of a fuel such as biodiesel in a diesel combustion engine:
a C8H17COOCH3 + b O2 yields c CO2 + d H2O, where a, b, c, and d are integer stoichiometric coefficients.
A) Balance the above chemical reaction using the smallest integer stoichiometric coefficients and clearly write the balanced chemical reaction.
B) Using the stoichiometric coefficients determined in part A), calculate the theoretical molar stoichiometric air to fuel ratio, assuming that there is 20% of O2 in air. Include all the calculation steps in your answer.
Hope that this solution will help you.

Consider an internal combustion engine like that used in automobiles. The most common fuel used here is gasoline which is a mixture of hydrocarbons, and an octane rating is given for standardization. Therefore, we will approximate gasoline as being composed of the hydrocarbon, octane, C8H18. Another fuel that is common in racing applications is nitromethane, CH3NO2, used in top fuel dragsters. Let’s consider the combustion of each fuel with oxygen in an internal combustion engine. Let the 8-cylinder engine displacement...
Consider the balanced chemical reaction for the complete combustion reaction of cyclopropane gas (C,H): a) What compounds are on the left of the reaction (reactants)? Provide the names in alphabetical order (not the formulas, and don't worry about the stoichiometric coefficients for this part), and write the states of each matter **For example if you have 2 NO, (g), you just write nitrogen dioxide in gas state in state, and in state. b) What compounds are on the right of...

Question 1 25 Marks A fuel consisting of carbon, hydrogen, sulphur, oxygen and non-combustible is burnt under excess air conditions. A bomb calorimeter test gives the fuel energy content of 38.5 MJ/kg and after combustion the mass of ash is 5% of the original mass of fuel burnt. The percentage analysis of the exhaust gas yields (by basis) mass CO2 H20 N2 SO2 14.2% 15% 69.5% 0.3% O2 1% For this combustion calculation, assume 23% O2 and 77% N2 in...
