A diesel engine with an engine volume of 4.0 L and an engine speed of 2500 rpm operates on an air–fuel ratio of 18 kg air/kg fue
l. The engine uses light diesel fuel that contains 800 ppm (parts per million) of sulfur by mass. All of this sulfur is exhausted to the environment, where the sulfur is converted to sulfurous acid (H2SO3). If the rate of the air entering the engine is 336 kg/h, determine the mass flow rate of sulfur in the exhaust. Also, determine the mass flow rate of sulfurous acid added to the environment if for each kmol of sulfur in the exhaust, 1 kmol sulfurous acid will be added to the environment. The molar mass of sulfur is 32 kg/kmol.

Answer:
a) 740 W b) 6.2 A c) 8.1%
Explanation:
We need first to get the total energy spent during the 30 days, that can be calculated as follows:
1 month = 30 days = 720 hr
If the total cost amounts $80 (for 720 hr), and the cost per kwh is 0.15, we have:
80 $/mo = 0.15 $/Kwh*x Kwh/mo
Solving for the total energy spent in the month:
Assuming that the power delivered is constant over the entire 30 days, as power is the rate of change of energy, we can find the power as follows:
b) If the power is supplied by a voltage of 120 V, we can find the current I as follows:
c) If part of the electrical load is a 60-W light, we can substract this power from the one we have just found, as follows:
P = 740 W - 60 W = 680 W
The new value of the energy spent during the entire month will be as follows:
E = 0.68 kW*24(hr/day)*30(days/mo) = 490 kWh/mo
The reduction in percentage regarding the total energy spent can be calculated as follows:
ΔE =
⇒ ΔE(%) = 8.1%
