Octane (C8H18) is burned with dry air. The volumetric analysis of the products on a dry basis is as below. (Fig. 15–12) Determine (a) the air–fuel ratio, (b) the percentage of theoretical air used, and (c) the amount of H2O that condenses as the products are cooled to 25°C at 100 kPa

What type of light does this light bulb produce most (i.e. at what wavelength does the spectrum have maximum intensity)?

Consider an ordinary, helium-filled party balloon with a volume of 2.2 ft3. the lifting force on the balloon due to the outside air is the net resultant of the pressure distribution exerted on the exterior surface of the balloon. using this fact, we can derive archimedes’ principle, namely that the upward force on the balloon is equal to the weight of the air displaced by the balloon. assuming that the balloon is at sea level, where the air density is 0.002377 slug/ft3, calculate the maximum weight that can be lifted by the balloon. note: the molecular weight of air is 28.8 and that of helium is 4.
