Q-3 C4H10 at 25°C and 100 kPa is burned with 100% excess (200% theoretical air) in the burning chamber. Air enters at 25°C, 100 kPa, and the combustion is complete. During the steady-state steady flow operation, products leave the chamber at a temperature of 800 K and there is no pressure drop during combustion.
a) Write the equation of combustion.
b) Find the air-fuel ratio on a molar and mass basis.
c) Calculate the heat transfer rate from the chamber to the surroundings if the mass flow rate of fuel is 0.5 kg/s.
d) Determine the rate of entropy production.
