Chemical Reactions

Learning Objectives


I.

Introduce the concepts of fuels and combustion.

II.

Apply the conservation of mass to reacting systems to determine balanced reaction equations.

III.

Define the parameters used in combustion analysis, such as air-fuel ratio, percent theoretical air, and dew point temperature.

IV.

Apply energy balances to reacting systems for both steady-flow control volumes and fixed mass systems.

V.

Calculate the enthalpy of reaction, enthalpy of combustion, and the heating values of fuels.

VI.

Determine the adiabatic flame temperature for reacting mixtures.

VII.

Evaluate the entropy change of reacting systems.

VIII.

Analyze reacting systems from the second-law perspective.
