Determine the air fuel ratio on a molar basis for the complete combustion of octane , with theoretical amount if air.
Added by Montserrat A.
Step 1
Write the balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of octane (C8H18) with air (O2 and N2). C8H18 + 12.5(O2 + 3.76N2) → 8CO2 + 9H2O + 47N2 Show more…

Consider a fuel which is an equimolar mixture of propane (C3H8) and natural gas (CH4). Write out the complete stoichiometric combustion reaction for this fuel burning with air and determine the stoichiometric fuel-air ratio on a molar basis. Also, determine the molar air-fuel ration for combustion at an equivalence ratio, of 0.8.
