Combustion

This concluding chapter deals in particular with material conversion, i.e. technical combustion processes. The first part of the tasks cover the so-called stoichiometry. This clarifies how much combustion air must be supplied to a fuel for complete oxidation. The composition of the resulting exhaust gas and the conditions under which water condenses out of the exhaust gas are investigated as well. For the energy calculation, the heating value method is used on the one hand. This makes it possible, for example, to determine the adiabatic combustion temperature. On the other hand, the method of standard enthalpy and entropy of formation is used for the energetic calculation, which additionally allows an entropic evaluation with regard to reversibility.
