+//(13.8) Liquid octane at 25C, 1 atm enters a well-insulated reactor and reacts with air entering at the same temperature and pressure. For steady-state operation and negligible effects of kinetic and potential energy, determine the temperature of the combustion products for complete combustion with (a) the theoretical amount of air, (b) 400% theoretical air.
+
+//solution
+
+//part(a)
+//For combustion of liquid octane with the theoretical amount of air, the chemical equation is
+//C8H18(l) + 12.5 O2 + 47N2 -------> 8 CO2 + 9 H2O(g) + 47N2
+//with enthalpy of formation data from Table A-25
+hfbarC8H18 = -249910 //in kj/kmol
+hfbarCO2 = -393520
+hfbarH2O = -241820
+
+RHS = hfbarC8H18 -(8*hfbarCO2 + 9*hfbarH2O) //in kj/kmol
+
+//at temperature 2400k
+LHS1 = 5089337 //in kj/kmol
+//at temperature 2350 k
+LHS2 = 4955163 //in kj/kmol
+//Interpolation between these temperatures gives
+Tp = 2400 + [(2400-2350)/(LHS1-LHS2)]*(RHS-LHS1)
+printf('the temperature in kelvin with theoretical amount of air is: %f',Tp)
+
+//part(b)
+//For complete combustion of liquid octane with 400% theoretical air, the chemical equation is
+//C8H18(l) + 50O2 + 188N2 --------> 8CO2 + 9H2O + 37.5O2 + 188N2
+
+//proceeding iteratively as part(a)
