ARTICLES RELATED TO Combustion - Slower combustion | |
| | |  Combustion - Slower combustion: Encyclopedia II - Combustion - Chemical equationGenerally, the chemical equation for burning a hydrocarbon (such as octane) in oxygen is as follows:
CxHy + (x + y/4)O2 → xCO2 + (y/2)H2O
For example, the burning of propane is:
C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O
The simple word equation for the combustion of a hydrocarbon is:
Fuel + ...

| | | | Combustion - Slower combustion: Encyclopedia II - Combustion - Combustion temperatures Assuming perfect combustion conditions, such as an adiabatic (no heat loss) and complete combustion, the adiabatic combustion temperature can be determined. The formula that yields this temperature is based on the first law of thermodynamics and takes note of the fact that the heat of combustion (calculated from the fuel's heating value) is used entirely for warming up fuel and gas (e.g. oxygen or air).
In the case of fossil fuels burnt in air, the combustion temperature depends on
the heating value
the stoichiometric air ratio λ
the heat capacity of fuel a ...
