Gaseous octane (C8H18) at 25 C, 1 atm enters a combustion chamber operating at steady state and burns adiabatically with the stoichiometric amount of air entering at the same conditions. The combustion products consisting of CO2, CO, H2O(g), H2, O2, and N2 exit the combustion chamber at 2600 K and 1 atm.

Determine the composition of the products. Draw a schematic of the problem and label with known information and list all appropriate assumptions.

Hint: You have to solve two algebraic equations. To obtain the two solutions, one of the methods is the iterative method.

A tank initially holds 140 L of salt water with density of 1.05g/cm3. Over a 30-minute period, both hot and cold water enter (Q[hot]: Q[cold]= 3:1) the tank while mixed warm water is drained from one outlet. The discharge rate at the outlet is 25L/min and the volume of the water left in the tank at the end of 30 minutes is 40 L. What is the mass flow rate of cold water entering.

For a first order process G(s)= 4/(s+0.5):

(a) Qualitatively sketch the pattern of the Bode diagram for this process, and indicate the limiting behaviors( i.e., the slopes and values as s --> 0 and s --> infinity) of ARn( the normalized amplitude ratio) and Phi ( the phase shift) in the plots.

(b) Will a P-only control possibly make the process unstable? Show your reasoning based on the Bode stability criterion.

(c) What if a delay term e^-5s is included, i.e., G(s) = - 4e^-5s/(s+0.5, will a P-only control possibly make the process unstable (you don't need to determine the exact value of the ultimate controller gain Kcu)? Show your reasoning based on the Bode stability criterion.

Q. Spherical glass particles (12 mm diameter and 2500 kg/m 3 density) and spherical metal particles (1.5 mm diameter and 7500 kg/m3) are falling in water (density= 1000 kg/m3) .

(2) At what water velocity will fluidized beds of glass particles and metal particles have the same bed densities?

The relation between fluidization velocity (u_c), terminal velocity (u_t) and bed voidage (e) for a spherical particle is given by the equation (uclu_t) = e^2·3

Air at 35°C and 33% relative humidity is used for drying a food product. The air is first heated to 90°C and then cooled adiabatically to an exit dry bulb temperature of 40°C. (a) How much moisture did the air pick up? (b) Calculate the change in enthalpy from the initial unheated air to the final moist air. (c) If the food is dried from 85% moisture to 20% moisture (both on a wet basis) at an inlet flow rate of 50 kg/h, what mass of air must be circulated through the dryer?

100 mol of oxalic acid (H2C2O4) is burned (95% conversion) at atmospheric pressure and 99 °C with 10 % excess air so that the selectivity of CO2 relative to CO is 4.
