MTX311 Combustion: DR WG Le Roux

The document discusses two examples of combustion analysis using the first law of thermodynamics. The first example involves propane being burned with 150% excess air at a rate of 1.2 kg/min, and calculates the air mass flow rate and heat transfer rate from the combustion chamber. The second example involves benzene gas burned with 95% theoretical air, and calculates the mole fraction of CO in the products and the heat transfer rate from the combustion chamber.
