The document details a webinar focused on combustion analysis, aiming to educate participants on ideal combustion processes using six different fuels (carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, coal, oil, and gas). It outlines objectives including understanding combustion performance trends and basic engineering equations related to combustion. The webinar includes discussions on stoichiometry, flame temperatures, and the composition of combustion products.

2. Combustion Analysis Webinar Objectives
In this webinar, the engineering students and professionals get familiar with
the ideal combustion and its h - T diagram, operation and major performance
trends. Six different fuels (carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, coal, oil and gas) react
with air and oxygen enriched air as the oxidant at different stoichiometry
values (stoichiometry => 1) and oxidant inlet temperature values.
Performance Objectives:
Introduce basic energy conversion engineering assumptions and equations
Know basic elements of combustion and its h - T diagram
Be familiar with combustion operation
Understand general combustion performance trends

3. This webinar consists of the following single major section:
• Combustion -- six different fuels (carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, coal, oil and
gas) react with air and oxygen enriched air as the oxidant at different
stoichiometry values (stoichiometry => 1) and oxidant inlet
temperature values
In this webinar, first overall engineering assumptions and basic engineering
equations are provided. Furthermore, basic combustion engineering
equations, section material and conclusions are provided.
Combustion Analysis Webinar

4. The combustion analysis presented in this webinar considers ideal combustion
operation -- six different fuels (carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, coal, oil and gas) react with
air and oxygen enriched air as the oxidant at different stoichiometry values
(stoichiometry => 1) and oxidant inlet temperature values. Furthermore, the following
assumptions are valid:
Thermodynamic and Transport Properties
Single species consideration
Ideal gas approach is used (pv=RT)
Specific heat is not constant
Coefficients describing thermodynamic and transport properties were obtained from
the NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field in Cleveland, OH -- such coefficients
conform with the standard reference temperature of 298.15 K (77 F) and the JANAF
Tables
Engineering Assumptions

5. Basic Conservation Equations
Continuity Equation
m = ρvA [kg/s]
Momentum Equation
F = (vm + pA) out - in [N]
Energy Equation
Q - W = ((h + v2/2 + gh)m)out - in [kW]
Basic Engineering Equations

6. Ideal Gas State Equation
pv = RT [kJ/kg]
Perfect Gas
cp = constant [kJ/kg*K]
Kappa
χ = cp/cv [/]
For air: χ = 1.4 [/], R = 0.2867 [kJ/kg*K] and
cp = 1.004 [kJ/kg*K]
Basic Engineering Equations

7. Combustion Engineering Equations
Combustion is ideal, complete with no heat loss and
fuel reacts with air and oxygen enriched air as the
oxidant at different stoichiometry values (stoichiometry
=> 1) and oxidant inlet temperature values.
Also,
Flame Temperature [K]
hreactants = hproducts [kJ/kg]

63. Combustion Conclusions
Hydrogen as the fuel has the highest flame temperature (when reacting with air at
stiochiometric conditions), requires the most mass amount of oxidant in order to have
complete combustion per unit mass amount of fuel and has the largest fuel higher
heating value.
When hydrogen reacts with oxidant, there is no CO2 present in the combustion
products.
The flame temperature increases as the oxidant preheat temperature increases for a
fixed stoichiometry value.
The flame temperature decreases as the stoichiometry values increase.
For stoichiometric combustion conditions, the amount of oxidant decreases as the
oxygen enriched air level in the oxidant increases. Also, the flame temperature for
such combustion conditions increases.
