Combustion Assignment

This document provides an assignment on combustion explosion and detonation. It includes two questions: 1) Calculate the adiabatic flame temperatures for the combustion of hydrogen and air and hydrogen and oxygen, assuming constant specific heats and allowing for dissociation of products. Compare the flame temperatures between the two cases. 2) Use CEA software to calculate equilibrium compositions and flame temperatures for the combustion of various fuels with air from an equivalence ratio of 0.1 to 2.5. Plot temperature and pollutant variations with equivalence ratio and discuss observations.

Assignment - 1

Combustion Explosion and Detonation (AS 5640)


Department of aerospace Engineering, IIT Madras
Due date: 05/02/2015
assignment is to be submitted latest by 4pm on the due date
1. Consider the combustion of a) hydrogen and air (consider only oxygen and nitrogen) and b) hydrogen and
oxygen (no nitrogen), with initial reactants at temperature of 298K and total pressure of 1 atmosphere.
Assuming constant pressure combustion and that there is no dissociation of products. Compute the adiabatic
flame temperatures for the following reaction/s

Take heat of formation, H f 0 241845kJ / kmol and constant specific heat,


H 2O

CP ( H 2O ) 40kJ / kmolK , CP ( H 2 ) 30kJ / kmolK , CP ( O2 ) 35kJ / kmolK and CP ( N 2 ) 33kJ / kmolK (all are at 1000K).

If we relax the assumption of constant specific heat capacity calculate again the adiabatic temperature using
CEA software. Compare the flame temperature for the two cases (air and pure oxygen) for both constant CP
and variable CP .
Allow for dissociation of products and obtain flame temperature for the two cases (air and pure oxygen).
2. Consider combustion of a fuel (see the table below for your fuel) is air at initial temperature of 298.16K and
at constant pressure of 1atm. Use Gordon-McBride chemical equilibrium program (CEA software) to carry
out thermochemical calculations for equilibrium compositions and flame temperature for equivalence ratios
of 0.1 to 2.5 (take increments of 0.1 in equivalence ratio). Plot adiabatic flame temperature (Tf) and mole
fractions of CO, NO and NO2 with equivalence ratio.
Discuss the following:
a) What is the maximum adiabatic temperature and at what equivalence ratio. Explain your observations.
b) What equivalence ratio would you suggest to minimize NO and NO2. Similarly what will be your
strategy to reduce CO pollutants? Can you comment on challenge one is faced to reduce both NOx and
CO simultaneously.
