Water Content in Automotive Engine Exhaust Gas
Water Content in Automotive Engine Exhaust Gas
(OP)
Hi everyone,
I would like to know if anyone would be able to help me calculate the Moisture Content / Water vapour content in the Exhaust Gas of an Engine.
I wish to determine the components of the Exhaust Gas for a Combustion Chamber in my Company (so that I am able to calculate the Gas Constant of the Exhaust Gas) and I have been able to measure the values of Oxygen and Carbon di oxide.
The components that I am taking into account for the Gas Constant calculation are O2, CO2, N2 and H2O.
I would be glad if anyone is able to suggest me the right set of Formulae to calculate the Water COntent in Exhaust.
Thank you in advance.
with Regards,
Santhosh Kumar

+ 80% nitrogen in the original air and insignificant amounts of other junk.
A periodic table will give you the atomic weights.
This is basic high school chemistry.

inlet streams=air(with moisture content)+fuel
really basic chemistry
