Data you should use for this assignment: Assume complete combustion for all parts of this problem unless otherwise specified. Any efficiency values are based on the HHV for any fuels. Data you should use for this assignment: hfg water =2250kJ/kg Molecular weights: O=16,N=14,C=12,H=1g/mol You and your friends are alone on an island with a motorboat. However, the fuel tank is empty, and you must fill it. All of a sudden, you find a field full of sugarcane. Sugarcane can be used for ethanol (C2H5OH) production as a biofuel, so now you have to produce your needed fuel. The efficiency of the system you can build on that island is 40% ( 40L L2HsOH/100 kg TFS) and every sugarcane has 14% of TFC (total fermentable sugars). The capacity of the fuel tank is 50 litres. The closest harbour is 250km away from you and you need 70% of your full tank for the journey. Density of ethanol is 789kg/m3 and HHV of 33.38MJ/kg. a. Assume complete combustion and fill in the stoichiometric equation (decimals are OK for the values) 1C2H5OH+O2_CO2+H2O+heat b. Calculate LHV of ethanol [MJ/kg]? c. What is the carbon intensity for ethanol [kgCO2/kg Fuel]? d. Calculate the CO2 emissions from this boat [kg/km] with a fuel economy of 8 L/100km/ passenger? e. Assume if you could have a jet ski and you could use gasoline ( CsH18, density of 0.79 kg/L) and emit 165g/km of CO2. However, half of your tank will be enough using gasoline. Calculate the fuel economy of the jet ski [L/100km/person]? f. Which has the higher emission factor for two passengers? Boat or the jet ski? Note: You might have some redundant parameters in
