Answer #1

Option (b) is correct

Fuel oil is classified as (I) Distillate fuel oil (ii) residual fuel oil

In ASTM , ( American society for testing and material) Grade number 1,2 are distillate and and 4, 6 are generally residual, 3 is mixutre of distillate and resudual

properties of fuel oil depends on Carbon chain length and distillation temperature

So option (b) is correct

Source of orgin ( distillate or resudual) and API standard ( Viscosity, boiling temperature, density)

Q1. An ideal jet engine with a compressor, combustion chamber, turbine and converging nozzle was held stationary during an experiment to measure thrust in a laboratory. The turbine is used to drive the compressor. The atmospheric pressure and room temperature in the laboratory is measured as 102 kPa and 283 K. The gauge pressure at compressor exit is measured as 0.0781 bar and the inlet air flow is 10.4414 l/s. The maximum temperature reached in the jet engine is measured...

2. (25pts) Motor oil at T=-30 deg F has a kinematic viscosity of ν=0.11ft2/s and a specific gravity of SG=0.88. (The rest of this is made up numbers and may not be indicative of actual car engine behavior) Assume that the oil flows at a velocity of V=2ft/s through a cast iron conduit within the engine block. Treat the conduit as a “best case roughness” (use smallest number for ε if needed) cast iron pipe with a diameter of 0.5in...
