An aircraft engine is using octane C12H24 as fuel. The combustion reaction equation reads: C12H24 + 18(O2 + 79/21N2) → 12CO2 + 12H2O + 18(79/21N2) The total temperature of the working fluid at the inlet and outlet of the combustion chamber are T03 = 650K and T04 = 1600K. The fuel heating value is QR = 42,800 kJ/kg-fuel. The specific heats of cold and hot streams are Cpc = 1.005 kJ/kg-K and Cpt = 1.23 kJ/kg-K. Assume air is composed of 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen by mole and that the burner efficiency ηb = 1.0. Calculate the equivalence ratio.

Consider combustion of $\mathrm{CH}_{4}$ with $\mathrm{O}_{2}$ forming $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ as the products. Find the equilibrium constant for the reaction at $1000 \mathrm{~K}$. Use an average heat capacity of $C_{p}=52 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kmol} \mathrm{K}$ for the fuel and Table $A .9$ for the other $\operatorname{com}-$ ponents.
