Question

PARAMETRIC: An ICE is tested with liquid octane (C8H18). The air-intake system is being tuned over the range of 70% - 130% theoretical air. Both fuel and air enter at

298 K, and the exhaust leaves at 700 K. All hydrogen in the fuel is assumed to burn to H₂O at all times. Heat transfer from this engine is just equal to the work done by the engine. Plot the following parameters vs. % theoretical air: a)The power output of the engine [kW], if it burns 18 kg/h of fuel. b) The CO emission [ppm].5
