Determine the enthalpy of foA novel gaseous hydrocarbon fuel CxHy is proposed for use in spark-ignition engines. An analysis of a sample of this fuel revealed that its molecular weight is 140 and its molar H/C ratio is 2.0. In order to evaluate some of its properties, the fuel was burned with stoichiometric standard air in a constant pressure, steady-flow reactor. The fuel and air entered the reactor at 25°C, and the products of complete combustion were cooled to 25°C. At the exit condition, water in the products was a liquid. It was measuredrmation of the fuel at 25°C

a. The fuel formula is C10H20 (dec-1-ene)

b. The heat given-off to the cooling system of the reactor represents the Higher Heating Value (HHV) of the gaseous hydrocarbon fuel

c. LHV = 44.36 KJ/kg

d. ΔH (formation) = -6669.6 KJ/mol

Explanation:

Molecular weight = 140, Molar H/C ratio = 2.0

a) To determine the fuel formula, we represent the information we have as equations

Molecular weight of C = 12, Molecular weight of H = 1

CxHy = 140g

12 · x + 1 · y = 140      ·········Eqn 1

y = 2x                        ·········Eqn 2

Substitute y = 2x into Eqn 1, we have:

12 (x) + 1 (2x) = 140

12x + 2x = 140

14x = 140

x = 10

Substitute x into Eqns 2, we have:

y = 2 x 10 = 20

∴ the fuel formula is C10H20 (dec-1-ene)

b) The heat given-off to the cooling system of the reactor represents the Higher Heating Value (HHV) of the gaseous hydrocarbon fuel . HHV refers to the amount of heat given-off in the combustion of a specified amount of fuel which was initially at 25°C and cooled back to a temperature of 25°C.

c) We will use LHV formula given as:

LHV = HHV – [2.441 (0.09H + M) ÷ 1000]

where:

LHV = lower heating value of fuel in MJ/kg

HHV = higher heating value of fuel in MJ/kg

M = Weight % of moisture in fuel

H = Weight % of hydrogen in fuel

HHV = 47.5 MJ/kg, M = 0, H = mass of hydrogen ÷ total mass of fuel

⇒ H = 20 ÷ 140 = 0.143 * 100 = 14.3 kg per 100 kg, Latent heat of steam (at 25°C) = 2441 KJ/kg

LHV = 47.5 - [2441 * (0.09 * 14.3 + 0) ÷ 1000]

LHV = 47.5 - 3.14 = 44.36

LHV = 44.36 KJ/kg

d) To get the enthalpy of the combustion of the fuel, we have:

fuel + air - - - - > carbon dioxide + water

C10H20 + 15 O2 - - - - > 10 CO2 + 10 H20

Enthalpy (formation) = Enthalpy (product) - Enthalpy (reactant)

ΔH (CO2) = -393.5 kJ/mol, ΔH (H2O) = -285.8 kJ/mol, ΔH (C10h20) = - 123.4KJ/mol

ΔH (formation) = 10 * (-393.5) + 10 * (-285.8) - (-123.4)

ΔH (formation) = -3935 - 2858 + 123.4

ΔH (formation) = -6669.6 KJ/mol

answer: jesus loves you

explanation:

the warning light flashes for a second or two when the engine starts. if it stays on, there's must be something wrong with the coolant. you should never dare to continue driving when the light is on. pull over as soon as possible and shut the engine off.

hope this is what you're talking about
