Question: Statement Propane ( C 3 H 8 ) gas at 2 5 C , 1 atm and a mass flow rate of 0 . 6

Statement
Propane (C3H8) gas at 25 C ,1 atm and a mass flow rate of 0.67kgmin enters an internal
combustion engine operating at steady state. The fuel burns with air entering at 25C,1atm
according to
C3H8+4.5[O2+3.76N2]2.7CO2+0.3CO+3.3H2
+0.7H2+16.92N2
The combustion products exit at 1000K,1atm and the rate of energy transfer by heat from
the engine is 100 kW . For the hydrogen, cp=29.5kJkmol K. The effects of motion and
gravity can be ignored. Using the environment of Table A-26(Model II), evaluate an exergetic
efficiency for the engine.
