Question 65
AENAT2 marksNeeds review
Consider a cryogenic liquid rocket engine using an expander cycle with liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as the two propellants. The mass flow rate of hydrogen
into the combustion chamber is 32 kg/s, and the mass flow rate of oxygen
into the chamber is such that
. The combustion of hydrogen and oxygen is at stoichiometry. Assuming that the rate of the forward reaction is much larger than that of the reverse reaction, the rate of formation of H
O is __________ kmol/s. (round off to the nearest integer)Log in to check the answer
