3. Assume that air enters a combustor at a nominal temperature of 600 K and Hexane (C6H14) enters at the reference temperature (298.15 K) creating products of combustion leaving at a nominal temperature of 1600 K. Values given in the table below are in units of kJ/kmol. Values are also given for the heat of formation. In the case of the H2O this would be for a gaseous product. Assume that the heat transfer from the system is negligible. (a). Write a reaction equation for hexane burning with air with c*100% theoretical air. (b). Write an energy balance across the combustor based on one mole of fuel assuming Qdot,cv = 0 and Wdot,cv = 0. (c). Find the percent theoretical air needed to produce the exit temperature of 1600 K. Determine the fuel/air ratio assuming the molecular weight of C6H12 = 86.17 kg/kmol. (d).
