A mixture of fuels is E85, which is 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline (assume octane) by mass. Assume we put the fuel and air, both at the reference conditions T₀, P₀, into a carburetor and vaporize the fuel as we mix it with stoichiometric air before it flows to an engine. Assume the engine has an efficiency as work divided by the lower heating value of 30%, and we want it to deliver 55 hp. We use heat from the exhaust flow (900 R) for the carburetor. Find the lower heating value of this fuel (Btu/lbm), the rate of fuel consumption, the heating rate needed in the carburetor, and the rate of entropy generation in the carburetor.
