Fuels
• Fossil Fuels: Coal, Petroleum, Natural Gases (LNG:
liquid natural gas, CNG: Compressed Natural Gas)
• Petroleum: Gasoline, Kerosene, Diesel, Fuel Oil ,
Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG)
Combustion Air
• Combustion is a chemical reaction during which a fuel is
oxidized and a large quantity of energy is released.
• Oxidizer = Oxygen
• Commonly AIR is used as oxidizer (free)
• By volume: AIR = 21% O2 + 79% N2
• Therefore, 1 mole of O2 Æ N2 = 79/21 = 3.76 mole
1 kmol O2 + 3.76 kmol N2 = 4.76 kmol of Air
Assumption at normal combustion :
• N2 absolutely inert (no reaction)
• Water is also inert

Example 15.1 Balancing the combustion equation
One kmol of octane (C8H18) is burned with air that
contains 20 kmol of O2, Assuming the products
contain only CO2, H2O, O2, and N2, determine the
mole number of each gas in the products and the air-
fuel ratio for this combustion process.
Solution Chemical reaction equation:
C8H18 +20 (O2 + 3.76 N2) Æ xCO2 + yH2O + zO2 + wN2

C: 8=x Æ x =8
H: 18 = 2y Æy=9
O: (20x2) = 2x +y + 2z Æ z = 7.5

Theoretical and Actual Combustion
Processes
Stoichiometric Combustion or Theoretical Combustion:
Combustion
• Complete combustion with 100% theoretical air ; ex
CH4 + 2(O2 + 3.76N2) Æ CO2 + 2H2O + 7.52N2
Actual combustion processes: need excess air to
complete combustion
% Excess air:
air = % more air needed than theoretical air
80% excess air = 180% theoretical air
Deficiency of air: = amount of air used < theoretical air
(10% deficiency of air = 90% theoretical air)

Example 15.2 dew point temperature of combustion products
Ethane (C2H6) is burned with 20% excess air during
combustion process. Assuming complete combustion
and a total pressure of 100 kPa, determine (a) the
air fuel ratio and (b) the dew point temperature of
the products.
Solution
(a) write the chemical reaction
equation at 120% theoretical air
C2H6 +1.2a (O2 + 3.76 N2)Æ2CO2 + 3H2O + 0.2aO2 +(1.2x3.76)aN2
From O2: 1.2a = 2+ 3/2+0.2a then a = 3.5
C2H6 +4.2(O2 + 3.76 N2) Æ 2CO2 + 3H2O + 0.7O2 + 15.79N2
Air Fuel Ratio, AF = mair/mfuel = (NM)air/(NM)fuel
= (4.2x4.76 kmol)(29 kg/kmol)/[(2kmolx12 kg/kmol)x(3 kmol x 2 kg/kmol)]
= 19.3 kg air/kg fuel

Chemical Energy from Process
This session deal with the chemical energy within the
molecules of a closed system that involve a chemical
reaction. During a chemical reaction, some chemical
bonds that bind the atoms into molecules are broken
and new ones are formed. The chemical energy
associated with this process is usually different for the
reactants and products.

Enthalpy of Formation
The enthalpy of formation is defined as the
enthalpy of a substance at a specified state due
to its chemical composition. This property makes
analyzing easier because it represents chemical
energy of an element or a compound at the
standard reference state.
The property values are obtained by first
assigning all of the elements in its chemically
stable form at the standard reference state a
value of zero (such N2, O2, N2, C).
Enthalpy of Formation
So we can use this concept to find the enthalpy of
formation of individual compounds by adding up the
enthalpy for each reaction it takes to react some of
the chemically stable elements to get the compound.

Example 15.6 First Law Analysis of Steady-Flow Combustion
Liquid propane (C3H8) enters a combustion chamber at 25oC
at a rate of 0.05 kg/min where it is mixed and burned with
50% excess air that enters the combustion chamber at 7oC,
as shown in the figure. An analysis of the combustion gases
reveals that all the hydrogen in the fuel burns to H2O but
only 90% of carbon burns to CO2, with the remaining 10%
forming CO. If the exit temperature of the combustion
gases is 1,500 K, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the air
and (b) the rate of heat transfer from the combustion
chamber.
