Compute the minimum oxygen pressure required for a stoichiometric reaction for the fuel mass used. Discuss the effect of other oxygen pressures on the measurements and compare these predictions with any observations you made.When more than one fuel is placed in the calorimeter, is the measured heat of combustion for the mixture a linear sum of the mass or volume weighted values for the individual fuels?

When selecting a fuel for a mobile power plant how does the energy per unit mass or the energy per unit volume influence the range of the vehicle or the space devoted to fuel storage? Discuss how this might influence the design of a methanol fueled IC engine automobile.

Compare different hydrocarbon fuels in terms of their heats of combustion per mass of fuel. What does this comparison show?
