Module 2: Thermodynamics of Combustion
  Lecture 11: Chemical Equilibrium
 

Summary
 
  • The basic thermodynamic principles are useful in estimation of properties related to combustion.
  • Stoichiometric calculations are useful in estimation of fuel-air requirements for a combustion process.
  • Adiabatic flame temperature indicates maximum possible temperature in combustion process.
  • Thermodynamic relations can be used to relate the change in Gibbs free energy with equilibrium constant.
  • Equilibrium composition can be used to calculate adiabatic flame temperature using an iterative procedure.
