Question

You are performing an experiment to measure the adiabatic flame temperature of cyclopentane. You put 10.0 mL of liquid cyclopentane into a well-insulated steel vessel with a volume of 11.2 L and pressurize the vessel with air to achieve a stoichiometric ratio of oxygen to cyclopentane. You then ignite the fuel, planning to record the final temperature. The vessel is equipped with a thermocouple and pressure gauge.

If room temperature is 27 ?C and barometric pressure is 1.00 bar, what should the pressure gauge read prior to ignition?

If the final pressure gauge readingis 75.3 bar, what is the temperature after complete combustion?Do not assume ideal gas behavior.

Explanation / Answer

1) 67.55 should be the exact reading.
2) Temp after complete combustion should be 55.75.
