( c ) A gasoline is made of the blend defined in Table 2 ( c ) ( i ) below. Table 2 ( c

(c) A gasoline is made of the blend defined in Table 2(c)(i) below.
Table 2(c)(i)
\table[[Component 'i',\table[[Flow Rate],[(Barrels/day)]],\table[[MON],[(Motor Octane Number)]]],[Methanol (MeOH),2500,104],[Thermally cracked gas oil (TCGO),4500,65.1],[Catalytically cracked gas oil (CCGO),17000,80.2]]
(i) Find the volume fractions of the various components in the blend (use 4 significant figures (4 s.f.)), and calculate the Motor Octane Number ('MON') using the mixing rule on the individual MONs (4 s.f.).
[4 marks]
(ii) Using the appropriate equations below, calculate Bloni, the blending indices of MON of each component i in the mixture to 4 s.f.
[6 marks]
For 11 MON 76
BloNi =36.01+38.33(MON100)-99.8(MON100)2+341.3(MON100)3-507.02(MON100)4+268.64(MON100)5
For 76 MON 103
BloNi MON/100)-1552.9(MON100)2+651(MON100)3
For 103 MON 106
BloNi =2206.3-4313.64(MON100)+2178.57(MON100)2
(iii) Determine the blending index of the mixture using the mixing rule on the individual blending indices (answer to 4 s.f.).
[2 marks]
(iv) Using Table 2(c)(ii) below, determine the MON by mixing rule of the blending indices method (answer to 3 s.f.), and calculate the relative % error (2 s.f.) between the values obtained in (i) and (iv) based on the answer from (i).
