Question:

A gas engine is operated on a stoichiometric mixture of methane \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\right)\) and air. At the end of the compression stroke, the pressure and temperature are \(10 \mathrm{bar}\) and \(500 \mathrm{~K}\) respectively. If the combustion process is an adiabatic one at constant volume, calculate the maximum temperature and pressure reached. What has been the effect of dissociation? (See Chapter 10, P10.5.) [59.22 bar; \(2960 \mathrm{~K}\) ]
