    (b) The fuel-air ratio
    (c) The mole fraction of H2O in the products
    2. How many kg (lb) of air are used to combust 55.5 L (~14.7 US gallons) of gasoline? (One
    gallon of gasoline weighs about 2.7 kg)
    3. In a model "can-combustor" combustion chamber. n-heptane is burned under an overall
    lean condition. Measurements of dry exhaust give mole fractions of CO2 and O2 as xCO2 =
    0.084 and xO2 = 0.088. Determine the %EA equivalence ratio and λ

    combustion of ethanol with a) theoretical air, and b) 65% excess air.
    6. Heptane is burned with 74% excess air, which enters a combustion chamber at 25°C.
