Question:

A small air-cooled gasoline engine is tested, and the output is found to be 2.0 hp. The temperature of the products is measured and found to be 730 F. The products are analyzed on a dry volumetric basis, with the following result 11.4% CO2, 2.9% CO, 1.6% O2 and 84.1% N2. The fuel may be considered to be liquid octane. The fuel and air enter the engine at 77 F, and the flow rate of fuel to the engine is 1.8 lbm/h. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the engine and its thermal efficiency.
