n-pentane (gas) (C5H12 ) is burned with 1.25 of actual air. The air and fuel enter the combustor at 288K and 101.325 kPa, the combustion products leave at 500K and 200 kPa.

Determine the maximum work that can be produced. Assuming surrounding temperature is 25C.

A fuel gas produced by gasifying coal is to be burned with 20% excess air. The gas contains 50.0 mole % nitrogen and the balance carbon monoxide and hydrogen. A sample of the gas is passed through an infrared spectrometer, which registers a signal R that depends on the mole fraction of carbon monoxide in the sample, and a reading R 38:3 is recorded. Analyzer calibration data are as follows: x (mol CO/mol) 0.05 0.10 0.40 0.80 1.00 R 10.0...
