Q1.
We know,

Δf HCO 2 (298K) = −393.5 kJ/mol

ΔHCO 2 (400K) = 4008 J/mol
Δf HO 2 (298K) = 0 kJ/mol
ΔHO 2 (400K) = 3029 J/mol

Therefore, standardised enthalpy of mixture in J / kmol:

ΔHmix (400K) = 0.8 ∗ (3029000) + 0.2 ∗ (−393500000 + 4008000)

ΔHmix (400K) = −7.548 ∗ 107  J/kmol

Q2.
At 298K We have,

ΔH
C2 H4 (g) + 3(O2 + 3.76N2 ) 2CO2 (g) + 2H2 O + 11.28N2
Δf HO 2 = Δf HO 2 = 0
Δf HCO 2 = −393.5 kJ/mol
Δf HH 2 O = −241.8 kJ/mol
ΔH = 47161 kJ/kg = 1320.5 kJ/mol

Now, by conservation of energy, we have:

Δf HC2 H 2 = 2 ∗ Δf HCO 2 + 2 ∗ Δf HH 2 O + ΔH
Δf HC2 H 2 = 49.9 kJ/mol = 49900 kJ/kmol

Q3.
The standard equation of reaction:

ΔH
C2 H6 + 3.5O2 2CO2 (g) + 3H2 O(g)

However, with equivalence ratio of 0.9, the equation becomes:

35 ΔH 7
C2 H6 + O2 2CO2 (g) + 3H2 O(g) + O2 (g)
9 18
By conservation of energy, we have:

ΔH = Δf HC2 H 6 − 2 ∗ Δf HCO 2 − 2 ∗ Δf HH 2 O
ΔH = −83.75 kJ/mol + 2 ∗ 393.5 kJ/mol + 2 ∗ 241.8 kJ/mol
ΔH = 1186.85 kJ/mol

Having a fuel burn rate of 30 kmol / hr, we have energy output:

Assignment 1: ME 760 1
 P = 1186.85 kJ/mol ∗ 30000 mol/hr
P = 3.558 ∗ 107  kJ/hr = 9882 kW = 33718499 BTU/hr

for every mole of ethane, we have 35/9 moles of O2 flowing into the system. Therefore:

35
ṁo2 = 30 ∗ = 116.67 kmol/hr = 1.037 kg/s

Q4.
The standard equation:

C8 H18 + 12.5(O2 + 3.76N2 ) → 8CO2 + 9H2 O + 47N2

Equation of reaction, taking 6:1 molar (volume) ratio of CO2 and CO:

8∗6 8
C8 H18 + x(O2 + 3.76N2 ) → CO2 + CO + 9H2 O + (x − 11.93)O2 + 3.76xN2
7 7
Which gives us, equivalence ratio:

(A/F )st 12.5

r= =
(A/F ) x

Now, to solve for x, molar ratio of CO2 is 6 percent (equivalent to volume ratio in ideal gas assumption), which gives:

48
= 0.06(8 + 9 + x − 11.93 + 3.76x)
7
⟹ x = 22.94
12.5
⟹ r= = 0.54
x
Finally, molar ratio of O2 in exhaust:

(x − 11.93) ∗ 0.06
48
= 0.096 = 9.6%
7

Q5.
The standard chemical equation:

ΔH
C3 H8 (298K) + 5(O2 + 3.76N2 )(298K) 3CO2 (T ) + 4H2 O(T ) + 18.8N2 (T )

We have:

ΔH = Δf HC3 H 8 − 3 ∗ Δf HCO2 − 4 ∗ Δf HH 2 O
ΔH = −104.63 kJ/mol + 3 ∗ 393.5 kJ/mol + 4 ∗ 241.8 kJ/mol
ΔH = 2043.07 kJ/mol

Now this energy goes into raising the temperature of the products. We have at 298K:

CO

v
2
≈ 42 J/mol-K
H2 O
cv ≈ 26 J/mol-K
cN
v
2
≈ 21 J/mol-K
⟹ cmix
v = (3 ∗ 42 + 4 ∗ 26 + 18.8 ∗ 21) J/mol-K (per mole of fuel)
⟹ cmix v = 624.8 J/mol-K
2043070
⟹ T = 298K + K = 3567.96K
624.8

Q6.
Empirical chemical equation - fuel(450K) + air(750K) = products(T )
Using conservation of energy, we have:

1.16 ∗ 109  J/kmol

= 3500 ∗ (T − 450) J/kg + 1200 ∗ 18 ∗ (T − 750) J/kg
29 kg/kmol
⟹ T = 2301K

Q7.
The standard chemical equation:

ΔH
C3 H8 (298K) + CH4 (298K) + 7(O2 + 3.76N2 )(298K) 4CO2 (T ) + 6H2 O(T ) + 26.32N2 (T )

With equivalence ratio of 0.8, we have:

ΔH
C3 H8 (298K) + CH4 (298K) + 8.75(O2 + 3.76N2 )(298K) 4CO2 (T ) + 6H2 O(T ) + 32.9N2 (T ) + 1.75O2
8.75
Which gives us an A/Fmolar = 2 = 4.375
We have:

Δf HC3 H 8 + Δf HCH 4 − 4 ∗ Δf HCO2 − 6 ∗ Δf HH 2 O

ΔH =
2
−104.63 kJ/mol − 74.52 kJ/mol + 4 ∗ 393.5 kJ/mol + 6 ∗ 241.8 kJ/mol
ΔH =
2
ΔH = 1422.825 kJ/mol

Now this energy goes into raising the temperature of the products. We have at 1200K:

cCO

2
≈ 56.3 J/mol-K
H2 O
cp ≈ 43.6 J/mol-K
cNp
2

O2
cp ≈ 35.7 J/mol-K
4 ∗ 56.3 + 6 ∗ 43.6 + 32.9 ∗ 33.7 + 1.75 ∗ 35.7
⟹ cmix
p =  J/mol-K
mix

⟹ cp = 829 J/mol-K
1422825
⟹ T = 298K + K = 2014.31K

Q10.
Standard chemical equation:

1
H2 + O2 = H2 O
2
With equivalence ratio of 0.25, we have:

3
H2 (300K) + 2O2 (800K) = H2 O(T ) + O2 (T )
2
Using conservation of energy:

40 kJ/kmol-K ∗ (1 ∗ 300 + 2 ∗ 800)K − 200 kJ/kg ∗ 66 kg/kmol =

−2.38 ∗ 105  kJ/kmol + 40 kJ/kmol-K ∗ (2.5 ∗ T )K

Assignment 1: ME 760 5
 Solving for T, we get:

T = 3008K
