An air–fuel mixture enters a constant area combustion chamber at a velocity of 100 m/s a pressure of 70 kPa and a temperature of 150°C. Assuming that the fuel–air ratio is 0.04, the heating value of the fuel is 30 MJ/kg, and the mixture has the properties of air, calculate the Mach number in the gas flow after combustion is completed and the change of stagnation temperature and stagnation pressure across the combustion chamber. Neglect the effects of viscosity and assume that the properties of the gas in the combustion chamber are the same as those of air.

A small gas turbine uses C8H18(l) for fuel and it enters the combustion chamber at 25◦C whereas air coming from the high pressure stage is at 287◦C . The products of combustion leave the combustion chamber at 1167◦C . The fuel is injected at a rate of 0.95 kg/min where it is mixed and burned with 400 % excess air. An analysis of combustions reveals that all the hydrogen in the fuel burns to H2O but only 90% of the...

During the power stroke of an internal combustion engine, the air-fuel mixture is ignited and the expanding hot gases push on the piston. Fuel efficiency is maximized in this process when the ignited gas is as hot as possible, the gas expands allowing a maximum amount of work to be done, and cooled exhaust gas is released at the end of the cycle. Assuming the engine exhibits the highest efficiency possible, which of the following statements concerning the exhaust gas...
