Carbon monoxide emitted by automobiles is an environmental hazard . A car has an engine of four cylinders with a total cylinder volume of 1600 cc and a fuel consumption fo 7.0 `dm^(3)` per 100 Km , when driving at an average speed of 80 km/hr . In one second , each cylinder goes through 25 burn cycles and consumes 0.400g of fuel . The compression ratio, which is the ratio between the smallest and largest volume within the cylinder as the piston moves forward and backward is 1:8. Calculate the air intake of the engine `(m^(3)S^(-1))` , if the gaseous fuel and air are introduced into the cylinder when its volume is largest until the pressure is 101.0 KPa. the temperature of both incoming air and fuel is `100^(@)`C. (Assume the fuel to be isoctane , `C_(8)H_(18))`

Answer» Correct Answer - Air constains 21.0% of `O_(2)` and 79.0% of `N_(2)` (by volume) . It is assumed that 10.0% of the carbon of the fuel forms CO upon combustion and that `N_(2)` in air remains insert.
