Develop a constant-pressure-reactor model using the same chemistry and thermodynamics as in Example 6.1. Using an initial volume of 0.008 m3, P = 1 atm and To= 1000 K, (a) find the combustion durations such that the reaction is 99 percent complete. Use ? = 1 and assume the reactor is adiabatic.
b) Study the effect of variation in?P?[0.2 ? 10 atm]?and?T0?[700???1400 K] on combustion durations. Use ? = 1 and assume the reactor is adiabatic.
Assumptions in example 6.1 are as follow:
- One-step global kinetics using the rate parameters for ethane C2H6?(Table 5.1)
- Fuel, air, and products all have equal molecular weights: MWF= MWOx= MWP= 29
- The specific heats of the fuel, air and products are constants and equal:
- cp,F= cp,Ox= cp,Pr= 1200 J/kgK
- The enthalpy of formation of the air and products are zero, and that of the fuel is
- 4*107j/kg
- The stoichiometric air-fuel ratio is 16.0 and restrict combustion to stoichiometric or lean conditions.excel must be formatted as following
