Name: _____________________________________________________________ Course & Year: __________

Note: Solution must be presented in the following order:


1. Problem
2. Formula
3. Substitution with the conversions used
4. Final Answer

1. 20 kg of Octane(C8H18) is burned with 100% air. Determine the mass of CO2 formed in the products?

2. A mixture of fuel having a mass of 40 kg have the following gravimetric analysis: CH4 – 78%, C2H6 – 22%. It is burned with 150%
air. Determine the mass of moisture in the products.

3. A gaseous fuel mixture is burned with 15% deficient air. This mixture contains 3 m 3 of butane( C4H10) and 5 m3 of methane(CH4).
Determine the volume of air required.

4. Gasoline(Octane) used as fuel for an engine is combusted in the presence of 17.05 m3 air/kg fuel supplied at 101.325 KPa
pressure and 21 °C temperature. Calculate the percent excess air.

5. C14H30 is burn with 15% excess air to give products of combustion based on ORSAT as follows: 9.7% CO2; 2.2% CO; 4.8% O2
and 83.3% N2. Determine the mass of fuel used.

6. What is the heat transfer in the glass surface area of 0.7 m2 having an inside temperature of 25 C and 13 C outside
temperature. The thickness of glass is 0.007 m. The thermal conductivity of 1.8 W/m C.

7. Find the heat transfer in Btu per hr ft2 of a solid wall that is made up of face brick(k = 0.76 Btu.ft/hr.ft2.F) 4 in thick, cement
mortar( k = 0.67 Btu.ft/hr.ft2.F) ½ in thick, and 1-2-4 mix concrete (k = 0.79 Btu.ft/hr.ft2.F) 8 in thick. If the temperature of the
exposed surface of the concrete is 70 F and the temperature of the exposed surface of face brick is 31F.

8. It is desired that no more than 1892 W/m2 be conducted through a 30 cm thick wall whose average thermal conductivity is k =
0.865 W/mC, the conducted heat will be controlled by insulating one side. Find the least thickness of insulating material (k = 0.346
W/mC) that will assure this heat constraint if the surface temperatures of the composite wall are 1150C and 40C.

9. Water at an average temperature of 180 F is heated while flowing at a velocity of 4,000 fph through a 2 in nominal diameter (OD
= 2.375 in; ID = 2.067 in) steel pipe. Determine the inside surface coefficient and the heating capacity for 100 sq ft of tube surface.
For water: Cp = 1.002 Btu/lb F;  = 60.57 lb/ft3; µ = 0.84 lb/ft hr; k = 0.389 Btu/hr ft F; Npr = 2.16

10. Two bodies with emissivity factor of 0.47 has a respective temperature of 2250 F and 525 F. The radiating surface of each body
is 60 ft2. Calculate the net heat exchange of the two bodies.
