Combustion
Hydrocarbon Oxidationmethane (CH4), the primary constituent of liquefied or compressed natural gas
propane (C3H8), the primary constituent of liquid petroleum gas
isooctane (C8H18), typical of the molecules found in gasoline
n-hexadecane (C16H34), typical of diesel fuel
If sufficient oxygen is available, a hydrocarbon fuel can be completely oxidized, the carbon is converted to carbon dioxide (CO2) and the hydrogen is converted to water (H2O).
The overall chemical equation for the complete combustion of one mole of propane (C3H8) with oxygen is:
OcHbCOaOHC 22283
Elements cannot be created or destroyed, soC balance: 3 = b b= 3H balance: 8 = 2c c= 4O balance: 2a = 2b + c a= 5
Thus the above reaction is:OHCOOHC 22283 435

Combustion StoichiometryThe stoichiometric quantity of oxidizer is just that amount needed to completely burn a quality of fuel. If more than a stoichiometric quantity of oxidizer is supplied, the mixture is said to be fuel lean
While supplying less than the stoichiometric oxidizer result in fuel rich

Combustion Stoichiometry
Substituting the respective molecular weights and dividing top and bottom by x one gets the following expression that only depends on the ratio of thenumber of hydrogen atoms to hydrogen atoms (y/x) in the fuel.
Example: For Octane (C8H18), y/x = 2.25 (A/F)s = 15.1 Benzene (C8H16), y/x = 2.0 (A/F)s = 14.7

Fuel Lean Mixture• Fuel-air mixtures with more than stoichiometric air (excess air) can burn
• With excess air you have fuel lean combustion
• At low combustion temperatures, the extra air appears in the products in unchanged form:
for a fuel lean mixture have excess air, so > 1

• Fuel-air mixtures with less than stoichiometric air (excess fuel) can burn.
• With less than stoichiometric air you have fuel rich combustion, there is insufficient oxygen to oxidize all the C and H in the fuel to CO2 and H2O.
• Get incomplete combustion where carbon monoxide (CO) and molecular hydrogen (H2) also appear in the products.

The maximum amount of energy is released from a fuel when reacted with astoichiometric amount of air and all the hydrogen and carbon contained in thefuel is converted to CO2 and H2O
This maximum energy is referred to as the heat of combustion or the heating value and it is typically given per mass of fuel
