14-16 Ethane is burned with an unknown amount of air during a combustion process. The AF ratio and the
percentage of theoretical air used are to be determined.
Assumptions 1 Combustion is complete. 2 The combustion products contain C02, H2O, O2, and N2 only.
Properties The molar masses of C, H2, and air are 12 kg/kmol, 2 kg/kmol, and 29 kg/kmol, respectively
(Table A-I).
Analysis (a) The combustion equation in this case can be written as
~H6"+c{O2+3.76'1J ~ 2CO2+3H2O+202+3.76cN2

Substituting, C2H6 +55[02 +3.76N2] ~ 2C02 +3H2O+202 +20.68N2
The air-fuel ratio is determined by taking the ratio of the mass of the air to the mass of the fuel,

14-42 The enthalpy of combustion of liquid octane at a 25°C and 1 atm is to be determined using the datafrom Table A-26 and to be compared to the value listed in Table A-27.
Assumptions The water in the products is in the liquid phase.
Analysis The stoichiometric equation for this reaction is
C8Hl8 +12.5[02 +3.76N2]~8C02 +9H2O(f.)+47N2
Both the reactants and the products are at the standard reference state of 25°C and 1 atm. Also, N2 and O2
are stable ele.ments, and thus their enthalpy of formation is zero. Then the enthalpy of combustion of C8HI8
becomes
Using 11; values from Table A-26.
hc = (8kmoIX- 393.520kJ/kmol)+ (9kmoIX- 285.830kJ/kmol)
-(lkmolX- 249.950kJlkmol)
= -5,470,680 kJ
The listed value in Table A-27 is -5,512,200 kJ/kmol for gaseous octane. The hc value for liquid octane is
obtained by adding ~ = 41 ,460 kJ/kmol to it, which yields -5,470, 740 kJ .Thus the two values are
practically identical. Since the water in the products is assumed to be in the liquid phase, this h, valuecorresponds to the higher heating value of CsH!s.

The temperature of the product gases is obtained from a trial and error solution. A first guess is obtained
by dividing the right-hand side of the equation by the total number of moles, which yields 1,321 , 184/(2 + I+ 0.75 + 12.22) = 82,729 kJlkmol. This enthalpy value corresponds to about 2500 K for N2. Noting that
the majority of the moles are N2, T p will be close to 2500 K, but somewhat under it because of the higher

Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist. 2 Air and combustion gases are ideal gases. 3 Kinetic andpotential energies are negligible. 4 There are no work interactions. 5 The combustion chamber is adiabatic.
Analysis The highest possible temperature that can be achieved during a combustion process is the
temperature which occurs when a fuel is burned completely with stoichiometric amount of air in anadiabatic combustion chamber. It is determined from
L N p (h i + h -h o )p = L N R (h i + h -h o )R ~ L N p (hi + hr -h o )p = (Nh i )C8H18

The adiabatic flame temperature is obtained from a trial and error solution. A first guess is obtained by
dividing the right-hand side of the equation by the total number of moles, which yields 5,646,081/(8 + 9 +47) = 88,220 kJ/kmol. This enthalpy value corresponds to about 2650 K for N2. Noting that the majority
