(30%) Q5. Composition of gas in diesel engine after combustion
engine is 5% oxygen, 20% carbon dioxide, 15% water vapor, and
remaining is nitrogen gas in volume. Temperature and pressure of
the gas is 1800K and 6 MPa. This gas is isentropically expanded to
the atmospheric pressure. Use air standard assumption.
a) Calculate the required properties of gas mixture (specific
heats, gas constant, etc.)
b) Calculate the power generated expansion for per kg of
mixture.
c) What is the temperature of gas after the expansion process.
