    1. Considering a stoichiometric mixture of isooctane and air, determine:


    (a) The mole fraction of fuel
    (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
    4. Consider gasoline having a chemical composition of C8.26H15.5 . Determine the mole
    fraction of CO2 and O2 in the exhaust for IC engine with normalized air/fuel ratio λ = 1.2
    5. Develop the combustion equation and determine the air-fuel ratio for the complete
    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.
    Assuming complete combustion and a total pressure of 1 atm (101.32 kPa), determine a)
    the air-fuel ratio [kg-air/kg-fuel], b) the percentage of carbon dioxide by volume in the
    products
    7. Butane is burned with atmospheric air, and the volumetric analysis of the dry products of
    combustion yields the following: 10% CO2, 1% CO, 3% O2, and 86% N2. Develop the
    combustion equation, and determine a) the percentage of excess air, b) the air-fuel ratio
    8. A bomb calorimeter containing 900 grams of water was calibrated by burning a sample of
    benzoic acid (C6H5COOH), whose heat of combustion is -3227 kJ/mol. When 1.890 g of
    benzoic acid is burned in the calorimeter, the temperature of the water and the calorimeter
    increases by 8.32°C. Using these data, calculate the calorimeter constant for this
    calorimeter in J/°C.

    an initial temperature of 25°C. After the reaction, the final temperature of the water is
    33.20°C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter (also known as the "calorimeter constant")

    is 837 J/°C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g °C. Calculate the heat of combustion
    of octane in kJ/mol.
    10. Following is the data obtained in the determination of calorific value of a coal sample
