The combustion of fuel in your car engine requires oxygen gas, which is supplied as air (21% oxygen molecules) into the engine. Consider a car that is using 100% ethanol, C2H5OH, as fuel. If your engine intakes 4.11 L of air per minute at 1.00 atm and 25ºC, what is the maximum volume of ethanol (0.789 g/mL) that can be burned per minute? Hint: You can ignore the "per minute" information because both the ethanol and air are being quantified per minute. Enter your answer to three significant figures in units of mL.

The combustion of fuel in your car engine requires oxygen gas, which is supplied as air (21% oxygen molecules) into the engine. Consider a car that is using 100% ethanol, C2H5OH, as fuel. If your engine intakes 3.7L of air per minute at 1.00 atm and 25°C, what is the maximum volume of ethanol (0.789g/mL) that can be burned in one minute?
Gas fired furnace (a) Oxygen-gas combustion is being pursued for use as a supplement and/or replacement for conventional air-gas chemistry in a variety of applications. The first order design assessment in such instances is illustrated in part by the following thermochemical analysis of an acetylene cutting torch burning oxygen or air. Using ideal complete combustion of acetylene at equivalence ratio values of 1.00, 0.83, 0.71, determine (i) the mass of oxidant consumed per mass of fuel burned for oxygen and...
An air-breathing gas-turbine jet engine operates at SSSF with complete combustion of 1 kmol / s of liquid ethanol fuel (C₂H₅OH). The given air-fuel ratio is 33 kg-air/kg-fuel. The constant pressure combustion process (2 → 3) results in a small amount of heat transfer out to the surroundings.

Explain.c) \(n\) - Dodecane \(\left(C_{12} H_{26}\right)\) in gas form is burned in a combustion chamber with \(150 \%\) excess air.Determine the following:i) the chemical reaction equation showing all reactants and products.ii) the required air to fuel ratio by mass, \(A F_{m}\left(\frac{k g \text { air }}{k g \text { fuel }}\right)\),iii)...
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...
Fuel cells can be powered by the reaction between formic acid and oxygen as following As formic acid and oxygen react together inside the fuel cell, it produced both electrical power and heat. While there is no shaft work produced by the fuel cells, this electrical power produced by the fuel cells can be considered as the shaft work term when you perform the energy balance. A fuel cell is being supplied with 100. liters per minute of pure formic...
