2. An automobile engine is being operated with pure methyl alcohol using 10% excess air over that necessary for theoretical combustion and securing substantially complete combustion of the fuel. A sample of the exhaust gases is removed from the exhaust pipe and carefully analyzed in the Orsat. What analysis would you Suspect to get?

2. An automobile engine is being operated with pure methyl alcohol using 10% excess
air over that necessary for theoretical combustion and securing substantially
complete combustion of the fuel. A sample of the exhaust gases is removed from
the exhaust pipe and carefully analyzed in the Orsat. What analysis would you
Suspect to get?
3. Assume that in the operation of the engine in the previous problem, the air supply is
reduced below in the theoretical value to the point such that 90% of the carbon in
the fuel burns to CO2 and the remaining to CO. Assume also that under these
conditions, the hydrogen in the gaseous combustion products is 40% of the CO in
them, the oxygen being all consumed. Calculate the following:
a. The Orsat analysis for the gases from the exhaust pipe
b. The pounds of dry air required per pound fuel burnt
c. The cubic feet of dry air that must be supplied to the engine per pound of
fuel bumt, on the assumption that the barometer is normal and the air
temperature is 70°F.
d. The volume of exhaust gases per pound of fuel burnt, if these leave the
engine at 960°F.
