25.Fisher-Trop synthesis uses syngas conversation to produce jet fuels and other petroleum fuels. If one of the fuels produced from FT process is 8CO+16H2C8H16+8H2O
This reaction needs 8 mols of CO and 16 mols of H2 to make one mole of C8H16(jet fuel). Syn gas normally consists of 1mol of CO for every 2mols of H2. Calculate how many kg of syngas (syngas: CO:2H2) to get 1kg of jet fuel using FT process.
26.Calculate the fuel consumed (diesel C12H23) to generate 400lb.ft torque at 1600 rpm for 2 hours. Assume 30% efficiency and the calorific value of 9800Kcalliter.
27.Estimate the CO2 emission from this fuel (Ques.26) per km of running.
28.If instead of ICE (Internal combustion Engine), hydrogen is used as fuel with an
efficiency of 50%(fuel cells), calculate the H2 consumption from the same vehicle running for 2 hours at constant torque and speed.
What is the saving in CO2 emission while running on H2 compared to diesel as fuel. Suppose the cost of diesel is 1 dollar per liter. Then, at what cost hydrogen will make the cost of running it equal.
31.If the cost of green hydrogen is currently at 6 dollars per kg, then calculate what should be CO2 tax to make the cost of running equivalent between 1 dollar per liter diesel and 6 dollar ?kg hydrogen.
