One kmol of gaseous octane (C8H18) is ignited withstoichiometric amount of dry air in a closed, rigid vessel. Thepressure of the reactants is 1 atm and the temperature is 25ï‚°C;while the temperature of the products is 727ï‚°C. Assume “completeâ€combustion.
(a) Calculate the pressure (atm) of the products.
(b) Determine the heat transfer (kJ/kg fuel) during thereaction.
Answer: (a) 3.42 atm
