(b) the lower heating value, in kJ per kmol of fuel and in kJ per kg of fuel.(c) the higher heating value, in kJ per kmol of fuel and in kJ per kg of fuel. (d) the dew point temperature of the combustion products at 1 atm, in °C. Consider a reference temperature and pressure of 25°C, 1 atm.

Answer:

a) 1

b) 1813.96 MJ/kmol

c) 32.43 MJ/kg , 1980.39 MJ/Kmol

Explanation:

molar mass of ethanol (C2H5OH) = 46 g/mol

molar mass of octane (C8H18) = 114 g/mol

therefore the moles of ethanol and octane

ethanol = 0.85 / 46

octane = 0.15 / 114

a) determine the molar air-fuel ratio and air-fuel ratio by mass

attached below

mass of air / mass of fuel = 12.17 / 1 = 12.17

b ) Determine the lower heating value

LHV of ( C2H5OH) = 26.8 * 46 = 1232.8 MJ/kmol

LHV of (C8H18). = 44.8 mj/kg * 114 kg/kmol = 5107.2 MJ/Kmol

LHV ( MJ/kmol) for fuel mixture = 0.85 * 1232.8 + 0.15 * 5107.2 = 1813.96 MJ/kmol

c) Determine higher heating value ( HHV )

HHV of (C2H5OH) = 29.7 * 46 = 1366.2 MJ/kmol

HHV of C8H18 = 47.9 MJ/kg * 114 = 5460.6 MJ/kmol

HHV in MJ/kg = 0.85 * 29.7 + 0.15 * 47.9 = 32.43 MJ/kg

HHV in MJ /kmol = 0.85 * 1366.2 + 0.15 * 5460.8 = 1980.39 MJ/Kmol

The following electrical characteristics have been determined for both intrinsic and p-type extrinsic gallium antimonide (GaSb)

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

0.5m^2/Vs and 0.14m^2/Vs

Explanation:

To calculate the mobility of electron and mobility of hole for gallium antimonide we have,

$\sigma = n|e|\mu_e+p|e|\mu_h$ (S)

Where

e= charge of electron

n= number of electrons

p= number of holes

$\mu_e=$ mobility of electron

$\mu_h=$ mobility of holes

$\sigma =$ electrical conductivity

Making the substitution in (S)

Mobility of electron

$8.9*10^4=(8.7*10^{23}*(-1.602*10^{-19})*\mu_e)+(8.7*10^{23}*(-1.602*10^{-19})*\mu_h)$

$0.639=\mu_e+\mu_h$

Mobility of hole in (S)

$2.3*10^5 = (7.6*10^{22}*(-1.602*10^{-19})*\mu_e)+(1*10^{25}*(-1.602*10^{-19}*\mu_h))$

$0.1436 = 7.6*10^{-3}\mu_e+\mu_h$

Then, solving the equation:

$0.639=\mu_e+\mu_h$ (1)

$0.1436 = 7.6*10^{-3}\mu_e+\mu_h$ (2)

We have,

Mobility of electron $\mu_e = 0.5m^2/V.s$

Mobility of hole is $\mu_h = 0.14m^2/V.s$

Create a separate function file fieldtovar.m that receives a single structure as an input and assigns each of the field values t

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Explanation gives the answer

Explanation:

% Using MATLAB,

% Matlab file : fieldtovar.m

function varargout = fieldtovar(S)

% function that accepts single structure as input, assigning each

% of the field values to user-defined variables

fields = fieldnames(S); % get the field names of the input structure

% check if number of user-defined variables and number of fields in

% structure are equal

if nargout == length(fields)

% if equal assign each value of structure to user-defined varable

for i=1:nargout

varargout{i} = getfield(S,fields{i});

end

else

% if not equal display an error message

error('The number of output variables does not equal the number of fields');

end

end

%This brings an end to the program

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Negative feedback

Explanation:

In Biology, negative feedback refers to the counteraction of an effect by its own influence on the process producing it. For instance, the presence of a high level of a particular hormone in the blood may inhibit further secretion of that hormone.

In other words, in negative feedback, the result of a certain action may inhibit further performance of that action
